Neighborhood

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.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
