Evolving community in south Richmond
While it may look like much has not changed in the neighborhood since the 1950s — its midcentury-era homes, its lack of nearby nationally-known businesses — things are starting to happen in Coronado, a small neighborhood in south Richmond. “There’s a slow change happening there. You’ve got people who’ve lived there for a really long time, but you’ve also got some new people coming in, including investors who are fixing up properties and reselling them,” says Realtor Kelley Lewis of Luxe Real Estate & Property Management. Walk down any of the streets and find houses getting facelifts, or glimpse the two newly renovated elementary schools and see that investments are being made throughout the community that both old-timers and newcomers are sure to enjoy.
With colorful, modern homes, Coronado is an up and coming area in the East Bay.

Bungalows and ranch-style homes line the streets
Much of the community is laid out on a traditional, urban-style street grid with small bungalows and ranch-style homes lining the streets. They were primarily built between 1940 and 1960 and sit close on narrow lots, often encompassed by low, wrought-iron fences. Front yards are often petite and filled with brushy foliage, and small trees and backyards often feature detached garages or ADUs. Sidewalks are plentiful throughout the neighborhood, allowing residents to walk to nearby schools, parks and stores. Prices range from $390,000 for 900 square feet to $700,000 for 1,500 square feet. Those looking for newer builds can find tall single-family homes and townhouse-style condos in the North of Marina (NOMA) community. They are boxy and modern, featuring large windows and balconies, automatic blinds, Ring alarm systems, and EV charging stations for residents. Prices for NOMA homes range from $675,000 for 1,600 square feet to $900,000 for 1,800 square feet.

Martin Luther King Jr. Park is a gathering spot for many
Residents looking for outdoor activities often head to Martin Luther King Jr. Park, a 13-acre community space with amenities including basketball and tennis courts, where friends challenge each other to games, a playground where kids burn off energy on weekends and an outdoor fitness area that was built in 2019 and mimics many pieces of equipment found in a gym. BMX bikers take advantage of Dirt World Bike Park, a terrain park near Ohio Avenue and 20th Street with jumps and obstacles designed for BMX and mountain bikes.
