The neighborhood is made up of condos, apartments and townhouses with views of the water, and single-family homes further inland surrounding Ketch Park. “Marina Point is more commonly referred to as ‘The Ships’ neighborhood by those of living in Foster City, as the streets in this neighborhood are named after ships or parts of ships,” says Stacy Jimenez, mayor of Foster City. “If you are one of our original residents, of which there are many in this neighborhood, you would call it ‘neighborhood 4’ because it was the fourth neighborhood to be built.” Churches are within walking distance of this small, pedestrian-friendly community.

Prices range from about $1.9 million to $2.5 million, depending on size and age.
