Richmond District

Perhaps the most neighborly neighborhood in San Francisco. Safe, accessible, convenient, relatively affordable and near the best outdoor recreation in town.

San Francisco’s wonderful Richmond district was once a recreation destination, with visitors flocking via toll road, streetcar or steam train to its beaches and popular attractions. It’s no wonder that it eventually grew into one of the top residential neighborhoods in San Francisco.
 
Today, visitors to wonderful San Francisco still gravitate to Golden Gate Park, Ocean Beach and Land’s End – since some of the most popular destinations in San Francisco are there. Yet, for its residents the Richmond district offers peace, privacy, community and instantly accessible recreation and entertainment. Rain or shine, there’s always something fun to see, or do, or eat nearby. And an investment in a Richmond district home is always a great value! Once known as the “Outside Lands” of San Francisco, the area was annexed by the United States in 1848 and by the city of San Francisco in 1866. At that time acreage was set aside for the establishment of Golden Gate Park, the treasured 1,000+ acre park that forms the southern boundary of the Richmond district.
 
Before 1900, the area was considered far from the city center, just as – before construction of the Golden Gate Bridge – Marin County was deemed a vacation getaway. That all changed when the motor vehicle came along to shorten distance and time. Farms, roadhouses, saloons and amusement parks in San Francisco’s Richmond District gradually gave way to residential development. Gardens and homes took root in the fledgling neighborhood’s grid, and the area was transformed into a thriving residential community.
 
Today the Richmond District offers some of the finest San Francisco living imaginable, with a friendly and diverse population, historically significant architecture, terrific public transportation, fabulous civic venues and parks, bustling shopping streets, an enviable safety record, and clean air flowing fresh and steady from the Pacific Ocean.
