Modern condos and townhouses with views of hills and the water

The neighborhood's newly constructed condo, townhouse and apartment complexes were built through the 2000s and 2010s. These properties have modern finishes throughout, including open-concept kitchens and private patios with views of the water or surrounding hills. People living in apartment-style condos or apartment buildings get a secure parking spot or two in shared lots. Townhouses appeal to people seeking more living space and attached garages. Residents pay HOA fees for amenities like building maintenance and access to community fitness centers.

Condos sell from the lower $500,000s to the mid-$800,000s. Townhouses range from the mid-$800,000s to around $1 million. Candlestick Point has a median sale price in the mid-$900,000s. That's higher than nearby Bayview Heights but on par with Bayview and Little Hollywood. It's lower than Bayshore and San Francisco as a whole. “The Candlestick area has a lot of newer residents, and it’s a more affordable part of San Francisco partly because there’s not a lot that’s around it,” says Kathy Wall, a Realtor at Intero Real Estate Services. “There are mostly just townhomes and condos here, and they are all very nice and near the bay.”

Parks and trails close to the San Francisco Bay

The neighborhood takes its name from the Candlestick Point State Recreation Area. Once made up of junkyards and empty space, the green space was turned into California's first urban park through the work of local activists. The park stretches along the shoreline of the San Francisco Bay and offers views of the distant East Bay Hills and San Bruno Mountain. Across more than 250 acres, you can find picnic areas, two fishing piers, miles of walking and biking trails, birdwatching spots and places to try out windsurfing. Bayview Park is also in the community, where a paved loop trail winds uphill to overlooks with sweeping views of the city and the Bay.

Near the 101 and Bay Area transit routes

U.S. Highway 101 and the Muni Metro T Third Street light rail line are accessible just outside of Candlestick Point, connecting commuters to San Francisco. Several Muni bus routes also serve the area, and the nearby Bayshore Caltrain station can offer regional rail service farther down the peninsula. You're about 7 miles from Downtown and the Financial District/Barbary Coast.

You're not far from dining and shopping in Bayview

  • Grocery Outlet, the closest place to pick up pantry staples
