Central Richmond offers a small-town feel between major SF parks
As its name suggests, Central Richmond is a neighborhood in the middle of northwestern San Francisco's action. Golden Gate Park and The Presidio sprawl to the north and south, inviting residents and visitors to explore thousands of acres of trails, gardens and open green space along San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The neighborhood is also the core of the Richmond District, a walkable area where cafes and international markets line Clement Street and Geary Boulevard. These major green spaces and a village-style layout make Central Richmond feel like its own small town, despite its urban walkability and easy access to Bay Area commuter destinations and public transit.
Central Richmond is known for its eclectic shops and restaurants, drawing in crowds daily.

Early 20th century homes and condos in the Richmond District
Edwardian, Art Deco and Mission Revival buildings line the blocks in Central Richmond, ranging from apartment and condo buildings to single-family homes and tenancy in common properties. These early 20th-century homes often pair historic bay windows and hardwood floors with modern kitchens and remodeled bathrooms. Some have been fully rebuilt with new systems and open layouts. Although homes line up along the sidewalks throughout Central Richmond, some offer a little more green space than you'd expect. “Lots in Richmond tend to be longer than the usual lots in the city,” says Cynthia Cummins, a Realtor with Kindred SF Homes and a former Central Richmond resident. “In a lot of them, you have these beautiful oasis gardens in the backyards, which can be 125 feet long.”
Single-family homes can go from $1 million to about $5 million. Condos and shares in tenancy in common properties can sell from the mid-$700,000s to around $3 million, depending on size and luxury amenities. Small multifamily properties can sell from about $1 million to $3.3 million. Central Richmond has a median sale price of about $2 million. That's lower than nearby Lake Street and Sea Cliff, but higher than Inner Richmond, Outer Richmond and San Francisco as a whole.
