A master-planned neighborhood on the eastern waterfront, with condo towers next to the Chase Center and a string of bay parks.
Mission Bay was built largely from the late 1990s onward. What had been Southern Pacific rail yards and industrial land was rezoned in the late 1990s and turned into a master-planned district of condo towers, mid-rises, lab and office buildings, and brand-new parks.
The Chase Center, home of the Warriors, opened here in 2019. The UCSF Mission Bay campus and hospital sit at the center. Oracle Park is a short walk north across Mission Creek.
The streets are flat, and the T Third light rail and Caltrain serve the area. The waterfront includes Bayfront Park near the arena, the Bay Trail along the water, and the Mission Creek houseboats on the north edge.
The T Third Street light rail runs right through the neighborhood and connects to downtown, the Central Subway, and BART, and the N Judah links the area west toward the Sunset.
Caltrain's San Francisco terminus sits at 4th and King on the north edge for trips down the Peninsula, and the Bay Trail runs along the water.
Interstate 280 runs along the western edge toward Highway 101 and the Peninsula, and many homes here come with deeded garage parking.
Mission Bay was a redevelopment area funded in part through Mello-Roos style Community Facilities Districts, which can add special taxes to a property's annual bill for infrastructure and park maintenance.
Almost everything here is a condo in a tower or mid-rise, so the HOA matters as much as the unit.
These are newer buildings.
Much of Mission Bay lies within a liquefaction zone on the State of California's official Seismic Hazard Zones map (California Geological Survey, San Francisco North quadrangle, released November 17, 2000). Sellers must disclose whether a property is in a Seismic Hazard Zone (Public Resources Code 2694 and Civil Code 1103), and the Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement (Civil Code 1103.2) shows it. Check any address with the state's EQ Zapp lookup.
