# House hacking in San Francisco (Bayview / Hunters Point / Candlestick).

The metro's largest engineered-growth catalyst stack sits on top of its lowest price band: a buy-the-run-up TOD play where a $900K entry buys into a decades-long master-planned build-out, if the buyer can price in real cleanup and delay risk.

**Status check:** Verified 2026-07-14: Candlestick Point construction is beginning this summer after years of delay; Shipyard-proper environmental and permitting work is still pending. Tier held at S.

## What's actually happening in 94124

-   Master plan; first infrastructure phase targeted summer 2026
    
    Hunters Point Shipyard Phase 2 / Candlestick Point: 10,672 units at build-out (7,218 Candlestick + 3,454 Shipyard), 3,348 affordable (31%), 337.7 acres of parks, 4.9M sqft office/R&D. Alice Griffith sub-area (498 units) active; FivePoint's first infrastructure phase (~675 homes) targeted to start summer 2026. [OCII Hunters Point Shipyard / Candlestick Point](https://sfocii.org/projects/hunters-point-shipyard-candlestick-point-2/overview)
    
-   In progress; gates the vertical pipeline
    
    Navy CERCLA cleanup: $999M IDIQ demolition contract (Feb 2026, figure WARN); Parcel G demolition began March 2026; overall completion targeted Feb 2031 with litigation risk. It gates Phase 2 vertical construction, the single biggest execution risk on the stack. [SF.gov shipyard cleanup status](https://www.sf.gov/hpns-cleanup-status)
    
-   Under construction
    
    India Basin Waterfront Park: 10-acre park, Phase 3 under construction, completion 2028, with a $4M EPA grant (June 2026). [SF Rec & Park](https://sfrecpark.org/m/newsflash/home/detail/2830)
    
-   Operational; upgrades in 2026
    
    T-Third light rail improvements: Phases 2 and 3 bring signal priority through Bayview in 2026 (4–7 minute roundtrip savings); Third St is the corridor's rail spine. [SFMTA T-Third Improvements](https://www.sfmta.com/projects/t-third-improvements)
    

## The numbers

Median price

~$933K (Haven Group), the lowest in the metro alongside 94134

Market rent

~$2,900/mo tier (most affordable in the city)

Property tax (San Francisco County)

1.183% combined effective (SF Treasurer FY2025-26, consolidated city and county); new buyers pay about 1.183% of purchase price in year one, then assessed value rises at the 2%/yr Prop 13 cap until resale

Per-bed rent band

$1,100–1,600/mo per room (workforce tier)

ADU rent band

$2,300–2,900/mo (ADU, basement, or in-law)

Whole-home rent band

$4,200–5,400/mo whole-home (3–4bd)

Underwriting vacancy

4.0–4.5% underwriting vacancy (softer sub-market, longer lease-up)

Appreciation scenarios

2 / 4–5 / 7–9 %/yr (conservative / base / upside)

The best rent-to-price ratio in SF, with more months of supply and negotiating room than the core. Appreciation basis: Conservative if the Navy cleanup slips past 2031; base if Alice Griffith and FivePoint infrastructure deliver on schedule; upside if shipyard vertical and the R&D program materialize. Rent bands are city-level medians; confirm the specific parcel before trusting any of them. [Run your own scenario in the calculator](/calculator/).

— no verdict on file

Rejected — verified-basis: the modeled count of 3 dwellings has no witness beyond the listing's own summary fields. our unit-count reconciliation reports single-source from the listing's summary fields 3 and the listing's property-type field Triplex, and the subtype is the string the chip is parsed from, so neither is independent corroboration. The listing prose states no count at all. · Two records on file point the other way. The verified listing record parcel details give zoning RH-1, which is the San Francisco residential house district that permits one dwelling per lot, and the FY 2025-26 secured bill for APN 4756021 carries no Code 92 Apartment License Fee, which the city levies on three or more residential units. · The model rents two of the three dwellings at $3,626 each for $7,251 a month, against the $3,992 a month the listing states the building collects today across one tenancy. Rent from a dwelling nothing witnesses is the direction the verified-basis gate exists to refuse. · No independent check was available this week. Every San Francisco open-data host, including data.sf.gov, the assessor and the planning map, is denied by this environment network policy, and no assessor seed is on disk. A count above the evidence with no witness at all is a stop for the row, not a worklist item.

## The house-hack angle

Deep stock of detached single-family homes and 2–4-unit buildings with ADU and garage-conversion potential. The tenant pool runs workforce, first-responder, and UCSF Mission Bay-adjacent (about 2.5–3 miles northwest). Room-by-room and SFH-plus-ADU both pencil against $4,000 1-bed and $5,600 2-bed rents at a sub-$1M basis.

## What breaks it

-   A Navy cleanup slip (Feb 2031 target, plus litigation) defers the vertical pipeline; near-term appreciation rests on run-up anticipation ahead of delivered units
-   Environmental stigma and the shipyard data-falsification history can cap resale velocity
-   The $999M Navy demolition contract figure is WebSearch-only (WARN); verify Alice Griffith and FivePoint start dates before crediting them
