About the Neighborhood

The Richmond, in particular, has the feel of a neighborhood whose businesses function primarily for its residents, rather than fulfilling some tourist fantasy of what San Francisco should be. And the makeup of that local population is unimaginably diverse – recently arrived immigrants from China, Vietnam, Korea, Burma and other corners of Asia, as well as long-standing communities of Russians and Eastern Europeans.

The cultural offerings on this side of town are rich, too, if you dip down into Golden Gate Park to visit the new de Young Museum, or traipse up to the hilltop Palace of the Legion of Honor.

Neighborhood facts:

  1. Just blocks from China and Baker beaches, Lincoln Park, the Presidio and Golden Gate Park.
  2. An amazing array of great restaurants within your neighborhood
  3. Right next to the Lake and Seacliff Neighborhoods
