Middle Ridge is one of Mill Valley's most sought after neighborhoods. Right above downtown Mill Valley, it has both the best weather and some amazing views of the other Mill Valley ridges, downtown and San Francisco. Middle Ridge begins as it winds up Lovell, up Summit and captures Cornelia. Many homes on Lovell back up to Tamalpais and are street to street properties. Magee and Marguerite begin or end on Summit. Ralston works its way up W. Blithedale Canyon and crosses Summit.
Summit Avenue goes to the top of Middle Ridge where it dovetails into Fern Canyon and then Walden - little known havens for some of the rich and famous. At the top, Summit runs into the famous Railroad Grade Trail that takes you over to the Mountain Home Inn or up the mountain itself - Mt. Tamalpais.
