Richmond Overview

For East Bay living in the San Francisco area, there?s nothing quite like Richmond, CA. No other city in the region boasts as much waterfront as Richmond! For those looking to move to an apartment in Richmond, your odds of a water view are much higher than in surrounding areas -- all without the headaches of property taxes.

What is the history of Richmond?

Richmond wasn?t officially incorporated until 1905. The area previously served as a rail stop for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, which drew settlers. A government representative originally from Richmond, Virginia, persuaded mapmakers to name the area after his hometown. Prior to colonial settlers, the land was home to the Ohlone tribe for thousands of years.

How is the weather in Richmond?

Pleasant, mild weather all year long is one of the key reasons people choose apartments in Richmond. The Mediterranean climate is ideal for both getting out in nature and tending a balcony garden. You won?t find snow or freezing temperatures, but Mother Nature provides occasional drama with foggy evenings and rainy winter evenings.

How do I get around town?

Richmond is a great place to live if you want to limit your own driving. Bus lines take residents to points within the city, as well as to neighboring cities and train depots. There?s also an intercity rail service accessed at a Richmond station. And don?t forget the city?s ferry service! Whether you want to go to Fisherman's Wharf on the weekend, or need to commute to your Frisco job, you?re covered.

In addition, 10 of its sites are on the National Register of Historic Places.

What Richmond landmarks should I see?

One of the more unique features of Richmond is The Ferry Point Tunnel, which is about 120 years old. It even gives visitors and residents access to other landmarks, including the USS Red Oak Victory -- a World War II Victory ship -- and the Golden State Railroad Museum.

What is there to do around Richmond?

Great swimming can be had at Keller Beach, which quieter than many of its neighbors. There?s also The Plunge, a historic two-story indoor swimming center. For windsurfing, head to Point Isabel.

Other shopping opportunities are plentiful, from malls and big box stores to snagging a special bottle at Riggers Wine Loft Company.

Any annual festivals or Richmond events to know?
