Pilarcitos Park takes its name from Pilarcitos Creek, which flows through Half Moon Bay to the ocean. It's a small neighborhood on the west side of Highway 1, with condos, duplexes and a few single-family homes, and it's one of the more affordable ways to own in Half Moon Bay. Sales are few, about 2 to 5 a year, and they've slowed lately: 2025 and 2026 sales took several months at a median around $560K–$660K.
