Inside Inner Richmond

Tucked between two of San Francisco's premier parks, Inner Richmond is known for its location. The Presidio and Golden Gate Park border the neighborhood to the north and south, providing options to hike, visit museums or stop by events on weekdays and weekends. "Inner Richmond backs up onto The Presidio, which is well taken care of and very safe," says Carren Shagley, a founder and Associate Broker with Legacy Real Estate. The neighborhood is home to a mix of cultures that create a lively dining scene; blending Irish, Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine. Plus, it is very walkable, so residents can experience all the culture, cuisine and outdoor activities in and around the neighborhood.

The Presidio or Golden Gate Park

Inner Richmond residents have their pick when it comes to San Francisco Parks. On warm and chilly days alike, people stroll along the trails of Golden Gate Park. The massive park has sports fields, lakes and views of the city and the Gulf of the Farallones. The park is also home to the California Academy of Science and de Young Museums, which offer exhibits of science and fine arts. The Presidio can't be forgotten, either. It's home to hiking trails and panoramic views of the city and the San Francisco Bay. Residents can lounge on picnic chairs overlooking the area, hike along the coast or soak up the sun on one of the park's beaches.

Head to Clement Street

Clement Street is the neighborhood's hidden secret. Residents can often be found between 6th and 5th Streets, coming and going from spots like D&A Café, holding takeout bags full of Chinese food, and Café Bunn Mi, a Vietnamese sandwich spot. Aromatic fragrances waft out of the 6th Avenue Aquarium & Flowers, sometimes stopping passersby in their tracks and drawing them inside to peruse the flowers and the tanks of colorful fish inside the shop.

Homes in Inner Richmond

House prices typically range from $1.75 to around $4 million and condos go for around $625,000. "It's the most expensive of the three neighborhoods in the Richmond area," says Shagley. Like most homes across San Francisco, some properties are built close together, with only a few inches on either side of most homes. Storybook and craftsman homes line the streets, and it is common to walk past first-floor garages and below bay windows in Inner Richmond.

Getting around Inner Richmond

The neighborhood is served by the Muni bus system. "The bus system leads downtown and to the financial district," says Shagley.

The houses around here seem nice and cared for, with the occasional eyesore. I very rarely see a For Sale sign out, though there are often For Rent signs, as many property owners convert the houses into a couple of apartments. Housing is exorbitantly expensive and parking is nonexistent.

Better than some areas, worse than others. I wouldn't feel comfortable wandering off the beaten track after dark. My car was broken into right under a bright streetlight at a modestly busy intersection. Police are right next door.
