Mission Bay
Neighborhood Intelligence

Mission Bay lies on San Francisco's eastern waterfront between Townsend Street and roughly 16th and 17th streets, from San Francisco Bay west to 7th Street and US-101. Built largely in recent decades on former rail yards, it contains the UCSF Mission Bay campus, Chase Center, Oracle Park, the Mission Rock development, and the residential blocks along Mission Creek. SF Planning's analysis neighborhood also extends west to include the Showplace Square design district around Division and Rhode Island streets.

Housing is almost entirely recent mid- and high-rise apartment and condominium buildings, with about 8,400 housing units. Most of the area is governed by the Mission Bay Redevelopment Plan (MB-RA zoning, with an MB-O office district), while Mission Rock has its own MR-MU district and Port waterfront land carries M-2 zoning. The Showplace Square blocks are zoned PDR-1-D, UMU, and MUO. Mission Creek Park, the Caltrain San Francisco station at 4th and King streets, and the UCSF medical center are key features.
