Established in 1998, the Mission Bay neighborhood has grown by leaps and bounds. What was once an industrial district has fully transformed into one of San Francisco's most dynamic, unexpectedly upscale neighborhoods.
Biotech has made its home here. UCSF put down roots when it opened its research campus in 2003, and in 2015 opened the UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay, San Francisco's first new hospital in 30 years.
Kaiser Permanente joined the neighborhood's roster of major medical facilities in March 2016, opening a state-of-the-art, one-stop medical center offering everything from adult and pediatric care to women's health services and a pharmacy.
Housing in Mission Bay is largely new luxury lofts and condos, with young professionals, tech and biotech workers, and international students among its varied population.
In 2019, the Golden State Warriors moved into Mission Bay, opening Chase Center as their new home arena. The 11-acre Thrive City district surrounding it has become a hub of restaurants, retail, and public plazas, and the Warriors have hosted NBA championship runs and the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. Muni light rail and other transit lines offer quick trips downtown, while proximity to Caltrain and the I-80/I-280 freeways gives residents a direct shot to Silicon Valley.
With Chase Center as an anchor, Mission Bay has firmly established itself as a dining and entertainment destination, with a growing mix of restaurants, cafes, and boutique storefronts serving both the neighborhood's professionals and its expanding residential population.
With its momentum and ongoing growth, Mission Bay has become one of San Francisco's genuine destination neighborhoods.
