Richmond neighborhood springs up around WWII homes
Blocks of bungalows built during World War II line the gridded streets of the North & East neighborhood in Richmond. The city of Richmond holds the distinction of having built 747 ships during the war, more than any other location, and workers streamed in to meet the demand during those years. Now the neighborhood of North & East offers modest homes, a strong community built around arts and history and public transportation that eases travel throughout the region. “Richmond was built so crew members could live here, so it doesn’t have a lot of fancy houses. You have smaller houses, but bigger lots,” says Anil Babu Aryal, Realtor with PCH Realtors who specializes in the Richmond area. “It’s close to high-priced neighborhoods and close to San Francisco but still affordable, and commuting is a good option. There are two BART stations – you can take the train all the way to the airport.”
North & East homes are typically a variation on the ranch style.
North & East is an up-and-coming neighborhood at the foot of east bay hills.

Community arts thrive
North & East is building on a history of arts in the community with a plan for a “Richmond Arts Corridor” to fill empty buildings with studios, shops and live/workspaces. The Civic Center Plaza in the southwest corner of the neighborhood includes the Richmond Art Center, which offers classes in ceramics, printmaking, drawing and other mediums. In operation since 1936, it is one of the first examples of American civic centers that have operated an arts center, says Amy Spencer, community engagement director for the center. Its holiday arts festival has been running for 62 years. “It’s a free event that brings in over a thousand people,” says Spencer. “There’s a marketplace and exhibits, and this year, we are highlighting a zine zone.” The NIAD, an art studio for people with disabilities, offers classes nearby. The RYSE Youth Center has recently expanded its programming, offering art and cooking classes, college and career guidance and free food. In the northern area, the West County Salesian Youth Club provides teen mentoring, supervised after-school activities and sports clinics for area kids.
