The Iron Triangle neighborhood sits in the heart of Central Richmond, California. With the area being largely residential, most rentals reside in the upper part of the triangle and an easy three-mile commute north to Point Richmond, a major shipping and industrial area. To the south, Berkeley and Oakland lie roughly 10 miles away via Interstate 580.

Locals often head for the Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline for a bit of jogging or cycling, or to cast a line off the fishing pier. Wade into the waters of San Francisco Bay at Keller Beach on the northern end of the park, or enjoy a show at the Masquers Playhouse, also just outside the Iron Triangle's southern border. Most eateries sit along Interstate 580, including several fast food chains. The MacDonald 80 Shopping Center lies roughly three miles east of the neighborhood. Drive another three miles and find Wildcat Canyon Regional Park and the Tilden Nature Area.
