While the city’s median home price hovered around $1.5 million in October 2025, the southeast waterfront is offering something almost unheard of – modern homes starting in the low $400,000 and topping out around $1.1 million.

At the San Francisco Shipyard in Hunters Point, the hilltop neighborhood has entered its final phase of sales, bringing a fresh mix of contemporary condominiums and a limited collection of single-family townhomes, all paired with limited-time financing incentives.

These homes sit above the glittering Bay, designed with efficiency and modern comfort today’s buyers actually want.

For first-time buyers, it’s a rare chance to secure a San Francisco address without sacrificing design, setting, or lifestyle. As community advocate and real estate expert  Lynn Bell of Christie’s International Real Estate puts it, “New construction housing, the new India Basin waterfront park, yearround sunshine, the country’s largest artist colony, a rich history, and sweeping Bay views—this community truly stands out as an attractive and affordable option for today’s buyers.”

And she’s not exaggerating. The Shipyard is a rare mix of attainability, sustainability, and style.

A studio is a 552-square-foot condominium at 52 Kirkwood Avenue, priced at $406,800. It offers open-concept living with a walk-in closet and semi-en-suite bath, which is perfect for individuals or couples.

A one bedroom, one bathroom at 52 Kirkwood Avenue starts in the mid $500,000’s. Perfectly designed for optimal use of space with high ceilings.

The remaining two bedrooms, two-bath homes at 52 Kirkwood Avenue starts at $778,800 and feature a spacious owner’s suite, flexible second bedroom and light-filled living areas.

The three-bedroom condo, a top-floor corner residence at 51 Innes Court, is priced at $849,800, boasts abundant natural light, expansive views and a family-friendly open layout.

The remaining singlefamily townhomes start at $998,800. These three-story residences include three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, and a two-car tandem garage pre-wired for EV charging, private balconies and spacious rooftop decks.

Beyond the homes, the Shipyard SF community is packed with perks.

The newly opened India Basin Waterfront Park -- featuring 1.7 miles of shoreline trails, piers, and a lively food pavilion is just steps away. Within the neighborhood you’ll find landscaped parks, pocket parks sprinkled throughout the hilltop, public art, and a playground with Bay and skyline views.

The neighborhood itself is rich in culture and creativity. Hunters Point is home to the celebrated Shipyard Artists, who recently marked their 40th anniversary. The upcoming Shipyard Holiday Art Show on December 7th (shipyardartists.com/ shipyard-holiday-artshow/) offers a peek into one of the largest and most vibrant artist communities in the country.

And yes – life here is practical. Downtown SF, and SFO— are just a quick drive away. With emerging businesses, expanding transit connections, and a creative community that’s anything but sleepy, Hunters Point – Bayview is shaping up to be one of San Francisco’s most compelling places to plant roots.
