East Bay living in The Annex
Richmond Annex, or “The Annex,” is a suburban community nestled along the shores of East Bay with accessible housing and residents looking to stay. “It’s a very stable neighborhood with many longtime residents,” says Jimmy Reina, Realtor with Red Oak Realty and resident of over 30 years. “I consider it one of the best-kept secrets in the Bay Area.” Two interstates converge in Richmond Annex, granting commuters easy access to the downtown urban centers of Oakland and San Francisco. With area parks and a connection to the San Francisco Bay Trail, Richmond Annex is an accessible way into East Bay.

Classic mid-century bungalows
Prospective homebuyers will find classic mid-century bungalows on hilly, sidewalk-lined streets. Many front lawns have manicured landscaping, and houses often contain one or two-car garages.

The neighborhood has numerous multifamily options, from condos and duplexes to the EAH Housing community at Crescent Park. Smaller, two-bedroom houses start at $600,000, while larger residences with scenic views of the bay can top $1 million. The market is competitive, and houses sell faster than the national average.
