The southeastern corner of San Francisco, with large new development near the former shipyard and the Portola garden district.
Bayview and Portola make up much of San Francisco's southeastern corner. Bayview, often paired with adjoining Hunters Point, grew up around the bay and the naval shipyard. The shipyard closed in 1974.
The T-Third light rail, which opened in 2007, runs the length of Third Street, and the San Francisco Shipyard and Candlestick Point are large redevelopment projects. New homes and parks are being built alongside the longtime residential blocks.
Portola, just to the west, is known as the city's garden district, with single-family homes, many with front and back gardens. San Bruno Avenue is its main commercial street.
The Muni T-Third line runs the length of Third Street through Bayview, with stations all along the corridor connecting north to downtown and the rest of the Muni Metro system.
Bus lines including the 8-Bayshore, 9-San Bruno, 23-Monterey, 24-Divisadero, and 44-O'Shaughnessy serve Bayview and Portola and link them to Mission Street, BART, and the wider city.
Highways 101 and 280 both run along the edges of the southeast.
Many Bayview and Portola homes are older single-family houses.
Large redevelopment is underway here, which can mean new HOAs, phased construction nearby, and special assessments or community facility districts.
Some homes have garage-level or added in-law spaces, and not all were permitted.
The former Hunters Point Naval Shipyard has been on the U.S. EPA National Priorities List (Superfund) since 1989. The U.S. Navy leads the cleanup, the U.S. EPA is the lead federal regulator, and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control is the lead state regulator. Official cleanup information is on the EPA site profile, the Navy cleanup program page, and the City of San Francisco cleanup page. Property-specific information is in the seller's disclosure documents.
