- Central Richmond
- Inner Richmond
- Jordan Lake/Laurel Heights
- Lake
- Lone Mountain
- Outer Richmond
- Sea Cliff
Postcard scenery and world-class recreation are a matter of course in the Richmond. You’re never more than a San Francisco minute from a hike at Land’s End, a walk with the dog at Ocean or Baker Beach, a stroll through exhibits at the De Young Museum, or dinner at the landmark Cliff House restaurant.
- The Inner, Outer, and Central Richmond neighborhoods are bisected by the east-west Geary business corridor, where the area’s diverse population abounds. Russian bakeries, Middle Eastern delis, Irish bars and French restaurants are filled with families, young urban professionals and students from the nearby University of San Francisco on Lone Mountain. As the Asian population has grown and Clement Street exploded with dim sum houses and Chinese restaurants, the district has been nicknamed "Chinatown West".
- The Jordan Park neighborhood consists of mostly single family homes and offers coveted views, excellent transportation and easy access to shopping and dining.
- Laurel Heights is a soccer mom’s haven, an upscale mix of apartment buildings and large homes in a sunny setting. Laurel Heights Village on California Street is a favorite shopping area for all ages with its coffee shops, supermarket, bakery, kitchenware and clothing stores. Second-hand shops, antique stores, and boutiques can be found on nearby Sacramento Street.
- The Lake Street neighborhood boasts easy access to the Presidio Golf Course, as well as the tennis courts, basketball hoops, duck pond, and children’s playgrounds of Mountain Lake Park. Many of the area’s Edwardian-style single family homes, flats and apartments have been renovated. Parking is comparatively easy. Shopping and dining are just minutes away at California or Clement streets.
- Sea Cliff is one of the most picturesque and desirable residential areas in the country. Spanish architecture dominates these magnificent homes, perched on the cliffs just east of the Golden Gate Bridge. Lincoln Park borders the neighborhood on the west along with, at its highest point, the California Palace of the Legion of Honor museum, home of Rodin’s "The Thinker".
