Urban living in the heart of Richmond

Pullman is an urban community situated in the heart of Richmond, California. Residents here are within walking distance of busy local parks, inner-city trail systems, public schools and local shopping. It’s also very close to several major highways and a BART station for commuters who need to get work in other parts of the East Bay and beyond. “It’s really all about the location. It’s about the most affordable place you can get this close to San Francisco,” says Realtor Bill Davis of Exp Commercial, who is based just a few miles south in Berkeley.

Richmond skateparks, ballfields and playgrounds

Pullman borders Nicholl Park, a bustling gathering place with baseball diamonds, a playground, tennis courts and a skatepark. At 21 acres, there’s plenty of room for outdoor activities. The park is separated from the neighborhood by train tracks, but residents can access it via a pedestrian bridge on 33rd Street. It’s also an access point for the Richmond Greenway Trail, a landscaped urban pathway that stretches for 2 miles and connects with more than six community parks. John F. Kennedy Park is only a few blocks away. It’s a 9-acre park with basketball courts, ballfields and open play spaces. The park was recently renovated with the help of residents who wanted to transform it into a safe space for community youth.

Post-war homes on an urban street grid

Homes in the neighborhood sit close together on gridded, urban streets. Most of these homes were built in the Bay Area’s post-war construction boom. “These homes are older, but a lot of them have been renovated over the years. There’s been a lot of interest with investors in this area,” Davis says. The most common designs are cottages, bungalows and ranch-style homes with small front yards, private driveways and garage space. Lot sizes are between 5,000 and 6,000 square feet, so there’s less upkeep but still room for a small garden. Prices typically range between $350,000 and $600,000, putting it well below the median home price in the East Bay.
