Richmond sits on the shores of both San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay, giving it a waterfront character that sets it apart from most Bay Area cities its size. Point Richmond draws weekend explorers with its walkable historic streets, local shops, and Keller Beach, while Marina Bay offers scenic shoreline paths and the ferry terminal with a direct ride to San Francisco's Ferry Building. Nature lovers get serious mileage here too, with Wildcat Canyon Regional Park, Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline, and Point Pinole all within easy reach. The Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park tells a compelling chapter of American history right along the waterfront.
Richmond's rental market gives renters solid variety, from classic bungalow-style units and garden-court apartment communities to newer waterfront condos near Marina Bay.

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.
