Mission Terrace is one of San Francisco's southernmost neighborhoods, bordered to the east by the expansive Excelsior district and to the south by the Outer Mission.
Its natural topography makes it one of the sunnier spots in San Francisco. And while it sits at the far edge of the city, its location still makes it easy to reach every corner of town, thanks to the Balboa Park BART station at its southwestern corner, the Glen Park BART station just to the north, and I-280 running the length of its western border.
Balboa Park itself is a sprawling green space tucked along that western border. The park includes an indoor pool, baseball fields, a soccer stadium, tennis courts, a picnic area, and a playground with climbing structures.
Although primarily residential, the long stretch of Mission Street at its eastern border brings a touch of city life to the neighborhood, with boutique shops, restaurants, grocers, bars, and a handful of mom-and-pop markets. Despite sitting on the city's edge, Mission Terrace carries the same energy as neighborhoods closer to the core.
Residents here take real pride in their community, with neighbors regularly coming together on local beautification efforts, from home upkeep to shared public spaces.
With a mix of big-city perks, suburban comfort, and easy outdoor access, Mission Terrace is a genuinely magnetic neighborhood for anyone considering a move.
