Secluded living in East Bay
While most waterfront neighborhoods in the Bay Area seem inaccessible and competitive, Point Richmond maintains the feel of a small town while still having access to the vibrant areas of downtown San Francisco. “Point Richmond really does feel like a small town within a big city,” says Philip Rosenthal, President of the Point Richmond Neighborhood Council. “We have a lot of diversity, and everyone feels like they belong.” Point Richmond has two residential areas, community parks, and a historic town triangle with local shops and restaurants.
