What used to be rolling sand dunes as far as the eye can see is now an orderly neighborhood of tidy homes. Views of the Golden Gate Bridge are a welcome surprise from the lucky parts. Proximity to the park appeals to those with canines and kids.

The entire Richmond district used to be nothing but sand dunes, but after the 1906 earthquake that devastated downtown San Francisco, development boomed to provide new housing for displaced residents from the east side of town. Adolph Sutro was one of the first major developers in the district; he built the Sutro Baths in the Outer Richmond in addition to many of the homes throughout the Richmond. People with kids and dogs appreciate proximity to Golden Gate Park and its multitude of trails, meadows, playgrounds, and sports fields. And while it’s easy to forgo a car in this transit-rich neighborhood, most of the single-family homes have a garage.

Central Richmond Neighborhood Vibe
Bounded by California on the north, Park Presidio on the east, Fulton on the south, and 32nd Avenue on the west, it’s appealing for people who want easy access to Golden Gate Park and the multitude of restaurants and shops on Geary, Clement, and California.
Popular Central Richmond Home Styles
There’s a wide variety of home styles in the Central Richmond, with many single-family homes as well as small condominium buildings and larger apartment buildings along the main thoroughfares. Most of the residential lots in the neighborhood are 25’ wide and the homes are attached to their neighbors. Marina-style homes proliferate here, which are single-family homes with the living room in front, a split bath in the hallway, and two bedrooms plus a sunroom in the back.
Getting Around in the Central Richmond
While there has been talk for decades about adding light-rail service on Geary, for the foreseeable future the main public transportation options for the Central Richmond consist of several Muni bus lines that serve both north-south and east-west routes. Car commuters to the North Bay can hop on Park Presidio to head to the Golden Gate Bridge, and those who drive to the South Bay can across Golden Gate Park to 19th Avenue and on to I-280.

Median sales price is calculated based on sold data and doesn’t account for seller concessions. Median price represents the point at which half of the homes sold for more and half sold for less. In smaller neighborhoods like many of those found in San Francisco, this metric is less likely to be influenced by extremely high or low sales prices that don’t represent the typical neighborhood home.
Days on Market indicates how quickly or slowly homes are selling in the neighborhood. The lower the days on market (DOM), the stronger the market is for sellers, all other things being equal.
The number of homes available for sale in active status at the end of a given month. Fewer homes available for sale may indicate a seasonal trend or market dynamics that favor a seller more than a buyer.
In strong or balanced markets, homes in San Francisco typically sell over asking. In a buyer’s market, homes will sell at list price or slightly under. If a home has had price reductions, the calculation is based on the last listed price.
Price per square foot is most useful when the homes are almost identical in size, age, layout and other factors important to buyers. Our experience suggests it is a more valuable metric in larger condo buildings and less valuable for homes in neighborhoods built with a diverse selection of styles, sizes, and ages.

Central Richmond is a neighborhood in the northwestern part of San Francisco. Sitting just north of Golden Gate Park, it is also bordered by Outer Richmond to the west, Inner Richmond to the east, and Sea Cliff to the north. On an SFAR (San Francisco Association of Realtors) MLS (add internal link) map, Central Richmond is identified as neighborhood 1a.
Located at California Street and 32nd Avenue in the Richmond, the Lincoln Park steps feature a fan-like design in the Beaux-arts style. Completed in 2015, this photo-friendly attraction is made of five panels depicting blooming fruit trees and a beautiful sunrise. Stow Lake is another popular destination for locals in a nearby section of Golden Gate Park.
Central Richmond has all the beautiful distractions and destinations offered by Golden Gate Park, right at the southern edge of the neighborhood. Walking, biking, museums, concerts, ice cream, and the Conservatory of Flowers are all available to locals. For shopping and dining, the Clement Street commercial corridor offers plenty of shopping options and destination-worthy dining from Korean barbeque to Irish pubs, with karaoke thrown in for good measure. Both the nearby Presidio and Lands End natural areas offer beautiful views, golfing, hiking, and the Legion of Honor art museum.
Friendly, low-key, and diverse, Central Richmond is a great mix of old and new San Francisco, with many second- and third-generation families calling it home.
As an “already built” neighborhood, Central Richmond is not a neighborhood where you should expect to find substantial new construction projects. Smaller developers may renovate/flip existing single family properties, or may take advantage of recent housing laws to add additional units to already existing housing. Transit corridors and major neighborhood streets are the most likely areas for new construction buildings in already built neighborhoods with existing housing stock.
