Point Richmond Homes for Rent

Point Richmond maintains a small-town feel while offering access to downtown San Francisco, just 20 miles away. The neighborhood is known for its diversity and community spirit, with two residential areas, community parks, and a historic town triangle featuring local shops and restaurants. The Point Richmond music festival, held every 2nd Friday from June through September, is a highlight, bringing live bands, art exhibits, and street dancing. Shopping and dining are centered around the historic town triangle, with options like the Hotel Mac, Kao Sarn Thai Cuisine, and Little Louie’s Café. The Point Richmond Market provides fresh produce, while Richmond City Center offers additional retail opportunities. Housing styles vary, with mid-century moderns and cedar-lined craftsman-style houses in the north, and contemporary developments with multifamily options in the south. Many homes boast views of downtown San Francisco or the Golden Gate Bridge. Recreational activities include the San Francisco Bay Trail, Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline, and the historic Richmond Natatorium. The neighborhood is safer than the national average and is served by the West Contra Costa Unified School District. Transportation options include the Richmond ferry, Interstate 580, and public EV shuttles connecting to BART train and bus stops. Despite nearby industrial centers like the Chevron Oil Refinery, the area remains a vibrant and accessible community.
