The Census value above is what owners said their home was worth, averaged over the 2020-2024 survey years. Zillow's figure is a model of what homes would sell for now, so the two are expected to differ, and Zillow's is the one to use for today's market.

Zillow has too few listings in the ZIP codes that make up Bayview Hunters Point to report a reliable asking rent, so there is none here.

Homes in Bayview Hunters Point sold for a median of $677 per square foot from July to September 2026, by Redfin's sales records, the lowest of 36 neighborhoods and 39% below the citywide figure of $1,103.
