Why Live in Pullman
Pullman, a neighborhood in Richmond, features homes built during the Bay Area’s post-war construction boom, with many properties having undergone renovations. The area predominantly consists of cottages, bungalows and ranch-style homes, each with small front yards, private driveways, and garage space. Lot sizes range from 5,000 to 6,000 square feet, providing manageable upkeep while allowing space for small gardens. Pullman borders Nicholl Park, a 21-acre space with baseball diamonds, a playground, tennis courts and a skatepark. The Richmond Greenway Trail, a 2-mile landscaped pathway, connects the neighborhood to over six community parks, including the recently renovated John F. Kennedy Park. Pullman is a mile from the shopping and dining options on San Pablo Avenue, featuring stores like Target, Safeway and The Home Depot, along with diverse dining options such as the Brazilian Restaurant & Coffee House. Upscale dining and boutique shopping are available 7 miles south in Berkeley. Interstate 80 and Interstate 580 provide convenient routes to Berkeley, Oakland, San Rafael and San Francisco, while the El Cerrito del Norte and Richmond BART stations offer public transit options.
