Richmond

As home prices in Alameda County become increasingly unattainable, “transitional” Richmond boasts affordability AND incredible Bay views. Located in Contra Costa County, Richmond boasts flat sections and hillside homes with spectacular San Francisco Bay views and affordability - with easy access to everywhere. 

Bounded by Albany, El Cerrito, San Pablo and Pinole, Richmond’s proximity to freeways, BART and the Greenway make it a viable alternative to expensive Alameda County, however the school district lags behind neighboring communities.
