Richmond is a fairly large East Bay community on the north side of Berkeley, about thirty minutes from San Francisco. Compared to other Bay Area cities, rent tends to be relatively affordable, making it an appealing location for commuters. Wildcat Canyon Regional Park and several large coastal parks give outdoorsy resident numerous options for enjoying the mild climate and natural beauty of the area without going far from home. Easy access to the water also makes boating and fishing popular activities for residents. The Richmond Auditorium is a popular venue for concerts, and the Point Richmond area is a popular walking district full of unique shops and restaurants. Of course, residents also enjoy having the freedom to easily reach The City, wine country, and northern California’s other resources and attractions quickly and easily.
