Once a San Francisco Naval Base home to high-paying blue-collar jobs that were the economic engine of the nearby Bayview and Visitacion Valley neighborhoods. Then the naval base closed and sat empty while its future was discussed and debated by wise women and men.
The Navy eventually took all their stuff and claims to have left no trace behind, but not everyone agrees on that claim. The development rights were sold to the highest bidder for a hefty sum, bringing about redevelopment under a decades-long master plan.
Redevelopment brings rebranding, so modern marketing now calls the neighborhood The Shipyard. An MLS search still puts all the new construction in a neighborhood called Hunters Point that most think of as the Bayview.

The Shipyard Neighborhood Vibe
The Shipyard is a master-planned community, and since 2018, the eight buildings have been completed in the first phase by the developer. Subsequent phases have continued and the community continues to grow. The neighborhood is not without controversy due to historical uses that involved radioactive waste disposal at the former naval base, and much of the land has yet to be turned over for development.
Popular Shipyard Home Styles
The Shipyard so far offers buildings with two distinct styles. One type of building is a traditional condominium mid-rise building with multiple homes per floor. Townhome-style buildings with a garage and small private outdoor space on the ground floor are also available.
Getting Around in The Shipyard
The Shipyard offers residents a private shuttle service to connect with the Muni light rail and additional destinations popular with residents of the neighborhood. While transit and biking are options, we’d classify it as a neighborhood in which you’re likely to be happier with a car.

Median sales price is calculated based on sold data and doesn’t account for seller concessions. Median price represents the point at which half of the homes sold for more and half sold for less. In smaller neighborhoods like many of those found in San Francisco, this metric is less likely to be influenced by extremely high or low sales prices that don’t represent the typical neighborhood home.
Days on Market indicates how quickly or slowly homes are selling in the neighborhood. The lower the days on market (DOM), the stronger the market is for sellers, all other things being equal.
The number of homes available for sale in active status at the end of a given month. Fewer homes available for sale may indicate a seasonal trend or market dynamics that favor a seller more than a buyer.
In strong or balanced markets, homes in San Francisco typically sell over asking. In a buyer’s market, homes will sell at list price or slightly under. If a home has had price reductions, the calculation is based on the last listed price.
Price per square foot is most useful when the homes are almost identical in size, age, layout and other factors important to buyers. Our experience suggests it is a more valuable metric in larger condo buildings and less valuable for homes in neighborhoods built with a diverse selection of styles, sizes, and ages.

Why yes, the Shipyard is itself a historical landmark, located on the site of a former US Naval shipyard, which served the country’s military as a naval repair site from World War II to its decommissioning in 1974. Starting in 1980, more than 300 working artists opened studios and workspaces in the former Naval facilities, and are still part of the local community. San Francisco is actively working on developing the Hunter’s Point area for residential and commercial development, though challenges remain around environmental clean-up.
