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. While bungalows may be the predominant style, Cedar-line craftsman houses, and colorful California ranchers can also be found scattered throughout. 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.
