Candlestick Point, SF Real Estate & Homes for Sale
Candlestick Point is the landfill peninsula at San Francisco’s southeastern corner, where Candlestick Park once stood, and its built homes sit in Executive Park south of Bayview Hill. Almost every home is a condo or townhouse built between 2001 and 2013, and the area falls under redevelopment subarea plans.

Candlestick Point is the landfill peninsula at San Francisco’s southeastern corner, just north of the San Mateo County line, where Candlestick Park stood until it was torn down in 2015. On the MLS, its subdistrict (10M) also takes in the condominium streets of Executive Park south of Bayview Hill. That is why almost every home sold under the Candlestick Point name today is a condo or townhouse built between 2001 and 2013.
The rest of the subdistrict is waiting land and parkland: the former stadium site, now the start of a large mixed-use project, and the Candlestick Point State Recreation Area along the bay. Each part has its own plan, so the first step with any address here is knowing which of the three it sits in.

What the Assessor’s roll counts in 10M
Compare the particular property’s permitted living area, actual lot size, construction history and ownership documents; a neighborhood statistic is not a substitute for those records.
| Parcel type (Assessor class) | Approximate count |
|---|---|
| Under-water lots (UWL) | 435 |
| Condominium units (Z) | 375 |
| Vacant residential lots (VR) | 181 |
| Below-market-rate condominiums (ZBM) | 47 |
| Vacant public-use lots (VPUB) | 46 |
| Vacant commercial and industrial lots (VCI) | 35 |
| Townhouses (TH) | 32 |
| Other (vacant lots, offices, two apartment buildings, misc.) | About 46 |
The under-water lots are a quirk of old subdivision maps. The three we sampled carried addresses on Pollock Street and Carroll Avenue, showed no improvements and were zoned RH-1(D) in the Assessor’s field. They can turn up in parcel searches, but they are not buildable homesites.
Executive Park: where today’s homes are
The built housing sits at the subdistrict’s western end, next to the office buildings of Executive Park. Planning’s General Plan treats this as a separate area: the Executive Park Subarea Plan, adopted May 5, 2011 (Planning Commission Resolution 18352), covers the southernmost 71 acres of Bayview Hunters Point, with US 101 on the west, Bayview Hill to the north and the state park and bay to the south.
- Crescent Way and Crescent Court: about 300 condominium units, 32 of them below-market-rate, with recorded build years from 2001 to 2007.
- The Cove terraces: West and East Crystal Cove, Pelican Cove, Otter Cove, Emerald Cove, Diamond Cove and Seal Cove, with condos and townhouses recorded from 2008 to 2013.
- Executive Park Boulevard: office buildings at 150 and 250 (1982 and 1986) and an apartment building of 15 or more units at 301 (2010).
The Subarea Plan describes a shift in the area from office to housing and sets a goal of approximately 2,800 dwelling units. It allows buildings taller than 85 feet only where they meet its design guidelines. At two points we checked, on Crescent Way and in the Cove terraces, Planning’s current map shows C-2 (community business, Section 210.1) zoning; the Cove point also shows a 40-X height district.
The stadium site and the Candlestick Point plan
The General Plan’s Candlestick Point Subarea Plan was adopted in 2010 (Board of Supervisors Ordinance 203-10) and amended in 2018. It covers about 281 acres, describes the site as largely landfill, and refers to the Conceptual Framework’s goal of thousands of new homes with an affordable housing program. The plan explains that Candlestick Point and the former shipyard were planned together but sit in different redevelopment project areas, which is why the shipyard has its own Area Plan.
On Planning’s map, a point on the former stadium site falls in the Candlestick Point Activity Node special use district with a “CP” height district, and in the Candlestick Point plan area. The Subarea Plan also notes that maps in the Bayview Hunters Point Redevelopment Plan serve as its General Plan maps, so zoning-table questions there start with that redevelopment plan.
Construction status changed recently. The San Francisco Standard reported on September 10, 2026 that FivePoint broke ground on the roughly 270-acre project after the Board of Supervisors approved subdividing the land. It cited about 7,200 homes and about 2.8 million square feet of office space, with roads, sidewalks and utilities to be built first. FivePoint had amended its development agreement to separate this project from the Hunters Point Shipyard work. No date for the first homes was given. OCII, the City’s redevelopment successor agency, publishes the official project figures and phasing, so check them before relying on the numbers above.
The rebuilt Alice Griffith Apartments stand beside the vacant site. The Mayor’s Office marked the opening of their main phases in November 2018, with a final phase due for full occupancy by spring 2019. The project replaces all 256 earlier public housing units, which the 2010 plan placed on about 18 acres, and adds new affordable homes. For the shipyard’s cleanup status and federal deed notices, see our Hunters Point guide.
Candlestick Point State Recreation Area
California State Parks calls the recreation area the state’s first urban park. Its main entrance is at 500 Hunters Point Expressway, with a second entrance at 150 Harney Way and the park office at 1150 Carroll Avenue. The park lists salt marsh, mudflats and small beaches, trails, group picnic sites and a public fishing pier.
The Candlestick Point Subarea Plan gives the park’s size as 154 acres, established in 1977, and said in 2010 that only about half had been improved. It also notes that a 2009 state law, SB 792, provides for reconfiguring the park and improving state park land as the area redevelops.
Fill, flood maps and liquefaction
Hazard maps vary sharply across 10M. A point we checked on public land near the southern shoreline falls inside a state-mapped liquefaction zone. The stadium-site point and the Cove terraces point returned no mapped liquefaction or landslide zone. All three sit in FEMA Zone X (unshaded) on the map effective March 23, 2021.
The shoreline is where the flood zones are. Querying Planning’s FEMA layer over the peninsula and its edge returns AE zones with base flood elevations of 10 to 11 feet and a VE (wave action) zone at 13 feet, alongside shaded and unshaded Zone X, so check any lot near the water by parcel. A map lookup is not a soil report, and the Subarea Plan itself calls the peninsula landfill. Our SF District 10 guide compares these layers across the southeast. Use our San Francisco hazard maps guide for the lookups and the natural hazard disclosure guide for what a seller must report.
Roads and transit
Harney Way is the main road into Executive Park and links it to US 101; the Executive Park plan anticipates widening it, dedicated transit lanes and a new Harney/101 interchange, with studies still under way when it was written. State Parks directs drivers from US 101 to the Third Street exit and then Gilman Avenue to the park entrance.
The nearest rail is the T Third, whose Le Conte and Gilman/Paul stations are on Third Street to the west and whose Arleta station connects to Caltrain at Bayshore. Both subarea plans call for bus rapid transit, and the Executive Park plan describes a line from Balboa Park BART to Candlestick Point and Hunters Point. Confirm current bus service with SFMTA.
Selling a condo at Candlestick Point
Resales here are comparisons between buildings of the same era, often on the same street. What separates them is mostly on paper:
- HOA documents: budget, reserve study, insurance, minutes and any master association for the Cove terraces or Crescent Way. Our San Francisco condos guide covers what buyers ask for.
- Below-market-rate units: 47 condos on the roll are coded BMR and resell under their program’s rules; see our BMR homes guide before setting a price.
- Construction nearby: disclose what you know about the stadium-site project and point buyers to the City’s and developer’s published plans rather than to dates no one has confirmed.
- Hazards: attach the flood and seismic hazard findings for the specific parcel.
Transfer tax, the 3R report and energy rules apply here as anywhere in the city; see our San Francisco selling requirements page.
Questions people ask
Is Candlestick Park still standing?
No. The 49ers played their last game there in December 2013, and demolition, which began in November 2014, was finished in September 2015.
What is being built at Candlestick Point?
According to the San Francisco Standard (September 10, 2026), FivePoint broke ground that month on a project of about 7,200 homes and about 2.8 million square feet of office space, starting with streets and utilities. No date for the first homes has been published in the sources we checked.
Are there single-family houses in Candlestick Point?
Use current listings to identify the property type you need, then verify its ownership form, legal unit count and any recorded restrictions.
Is Candlestick Point part of the Hunters Point Shipyard?
No. They were planned together, but the General Plan says they lie in different redevelopment project areas, and the developer has since separated the two projects. The shipyard is subdistrict 10J, covered in our Hunters Point guide.
Is the state recreation area open?
Yes. California State Parks lists entrances at 500 Hunters Point Expressway and 150 Harney Way, with trails, picnic sites and a fishing pier.
Is Candlestick Point in a liquefaction zone?
Parts are. A point near the southern shoreline is inside a mapped liquefaction zone, while points at the stadium site and the Cove terraces were not. Check the specific parcel.

Costs to plan for when buying at Candlestick Point
- Special taxes on the new project. OCII, the City’s redevelopment successor agency, lists a community facilities district for the redevelopment: Community Facilities District No. 9, the Hunters Point Shipyard Phase 2/Candlestick Point Public Facilities District and Services District (OCII investor relations). Special taxes of this kind appear as direct charges on the property tax bill. Whether a given parcel is inside it depends on where it sits, so check the seller’s current bill and the disclosures; our Mello-Roos guide explains how these taxes work.
- Property tax. A reassessable ownership change may change assessed value under Proposition 13 (BOE Publication 29), followed by a supplemental assessment. The Treasurer explains the parcel taxes and special assessments that can appear on a bill (SF Treasurer). See our San Francisco property tax guide.
- Transfer tax. San Francisco’s tax is set per $500 of value: $2.50 up to $250,000, $3.40 to under $1 million, $3.75 to under $5 million, with higher tiers above that (SF transfer tax). Our San Francisco transfer tax guide covers who usually pays.
- HOA dues and any master association for the Cove terraces or Crescent Way. Ask for the budget and reserve study before you remove contingencies (HOA documents guide).
Permits and remodels in a Candlestick Point condo
Almost every home here is a condominium or townhouse, so a remodel has two approvals. The first is the association’s: CC&Rs and architectural rules usually control windows, flooring, decks and anything touching common walls. The second is the City’s. The Department of Building Inspection issues building permits and keeps the records (DBI), and SF Planning reviews zoning questions. Before closing, compare the unit with its permit history. Sellers must give buyers a 3R report, the Report of Residential Building Record, which DBI issues for $379 per building in about seven to ten business days (DBI 3R report).
Accessory dwelling units are allowed citywide wherever housing is allowed (SF Planning, ADUs), but in a condominium building an ADU would involve the association and the common area. That makes it rare in practice.
Luxury homes and estates at Candlestick Point
At Candlestick Point, the higher-end ownership choices discussed here are the upper end of the condominium and townhouse stock: larger townhouses and units with bay or park outlooks in the Cove terraces and along Crescent Way. The planning documents frame what’s coming rather than what exists. The Executive Park Subarea Plan allows buildings taller than 85 feet only where they meet its design guidelines, and the Candlestick Point plan covers the former stadium site, where the first new homes had no published date as of the San Francisco Standard’s September 2026 report.
For a high-value purchase here, the due diligence that matters most:
- The association’s health. Look at the reserve study, insurance and any litigation, and at whether a master association adds a second set of dues.
- Special taxes. Check whether the parcel carries CFD charges on its bill.
- Ground and flood. Check the parcel on our San Francisco hazard maps guide; some shoreline areas are mappedAE/VE; verify the actual building’s current FEMAzone, as described above. See our flood insurance guide.
- BMR status. A below-market-rate unit resells under its program’s rules (BMR homes guide).
Some owners prefer a private sale. Ask Diamond Real Estate Group which permitted private-marketing options fit your property, goals and the applicable MLS rules. Availability of any particular listing is not guaranteed. For higher-end condominiums elsewhere in the city, see our San Francisco luxury condos guide and San Francisco luxury homes guide.
Candlestick Point real estate: more questions
Is there Mello-Roos at Candlestick Point?
OCII lists Community Facilities District No. 9 for Hunters Point Shipyard Phase 2 and Candlestick Point. Whether a specific condo pays a special tax depends on whether its parcel is in the district, so read the seller’s tax bill and the Mello-Roos disclosure before you commit.
Who issues permits for work on a Candlestick Point condo?
The Department of Building Inspection issues building permits, and SF Planning handles zoning. In a condominium, the homeowners association usually has to approve the work first under its CC&Rs and architectural rules.
What transfer tax applies to a Candlestick Point condo sale?
San Francisco’s tiered transfer tax. For example, a sale between $250,000 and $1 million pays $3.40 per $500 of value (0.68%). It’s due when the deed is recorded with the Assessor-Recorder.
Assessment records are a starting point for checking a property, not a certification of legal use or a live listing inventory. Verify current permits, recorded ownership documents and any affordability restrictions.
