Isle Cove, Edgewater & Metro Center, Foster City Homes for sale, recent sales and a Property Nerd’s guide

The housing mix is the story here. County parcel records show about 790 condominium units (main groups: about 240 at Spinnaker Cove on Sea Spray Lane, about 130 at Meridian Bay, about 90 at Promontory Point, about 50 each on Juno Lane and at Emerald Bay), about 630 townhouse lots (Celestial, Rigel, Libra, Draco, Hydra, Gemini and the other small-lot lanes in Neighborhood 9, plus about 300 in Town Center on Court, Commons, Cityhomes, Village and Town Green lanes) and about 330 detached houses on standard lots of roughly 5,900 sq ft along Beach Park Boulevard, Arcturus Circle, Polaris Avenue, Vega Circle, Mira Street and nearby streets. That works out to roughly 45% condominiums, 36% townhouses and 19% detached houses among for-sale homes, before counting the apartment complexes on East Hillsdale Boulevard, Village Lane and Town Green Lane.

Listing names follow the products: Isle Cove for the Neighborhood 9 townhouses, Metro Center for the Town Center townhomes and several nearby condo complexes, and complex names such as Spinnaker Cove, Meridian Bay and Promontory Point. In Foster City, privately owned residential streets are generally named Lane, and nearly every condo and townhouse address here is a Lane, so check whether the street is private and what the association maintains (street, landscaping, exteriors).

The ground and water facts are the same across the guide: the state's 2018 seismic hazard maps put essentially every parcel in a liquefaction zone; FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer shows the homes in Zone X, mostly as an area with reduced flood risk due to the levee, after a Letter of Map Revision (case 24-09-0381P) effective September 11, 2026; and the state's tsunami hazard map for emergency planning leaves them outside its hazard area. Marina Lagoon, on the west side, is the City of San Mateo's lagoon, while the main lagoon on the east side is Foster City's.
