I think you'll find that Richmond has a lot to offer! I moved to the North and East about 5 years ago. I find that it's very safe here, neighbors know one another and are friendly. There's definitely been an uptick in remodels and young families moving in. The local elementary school is undergoing a ground-up construction, expanding and modernizing the school.
I have had many more opportunities to walk through the whole neighborhood lately, and if I were younger with small kids I'd choose this area. The only downside is that there are very few restaurants nearby, and only one good coffee spot. My husband and I have lived in Berkeley for 14 years. We have an 11 yo daughter in the Berkeley public school system. We are looking to buy, and it appears that housing prices in El Cerrito, as well as the Richmond Annex have gone up considerably in the last year.
However, I do not know much about the Richmond areas at all. Any current feedback about living in Richmond would be most appreciated. I have read through a lot of what is written here, however most stuff is years old. Would love a current perspective as things are changing so fast.
While the neighborhood is safe, and the neighbors are kind, the schools are terrible. You might want to try San Pablo, in an area where your child can go to El Sobrante schools. I highly recommend my neighborhood, where I have lived since East Richmond Heights. Middle schoolers are zoned for Mira Vista, but I think you also have the option to choose Korematsu. There is some crime, mostly car burglary. I'm sure there are other areas, maybe a condo down by the water but these are the ones I know, and are some of the most undervalued property in the Bay Area.
I ran a quick search for you, if the link works that might give you some idea. My son who is two loves the yard and an old high school classmate turns out to be my neighbor.
If you need the info of a realtor let me know. Not sure about Vallejo but check out the May Valley area of Richmond! Oakland is really wonderful but it's also blown up, price-wise. And there's no such thing as an affordable private school. You have to come look at Richmond. I'm in Each Richmond Heights, but there are many really fantastic neighborhoods here. You can contact me off-line. Talk to parents at the schools you are thinking of and come look at them.
We bought a house in Richmond seventeen years ago when you could hear gunfire in the night. Since then the neighborhood has improved immensely and the people who have moved in take care of their properties and are working class folks like the majority of people.
We love our home and neighborhood although we wish there were more trees. That being said we have a daughter, now For kindergarten we did private, the East Bay Waldorf School, which we did not like. Since then we have been commuting her to a Marin Charter school with about kids, very diverse, first through eighth and have been happy overall.
Now we must move to get her into a good public high school in Marin so she can continue on with her mates. The gas, traffic, bridge toll has been expensive but it has been cheaper than private school. And we will rent out our home while she is in high school. Why so much effort and work? Because after much research, I am still not confidant in Richmond schools, even the new charter's that are turning education into a business. And being in a small school, and not on a bus either unsupervised has shielded her from the cigarettes, drugs and alcohol that many middle schoolers, are experiencing in bigger schools.
EC has higher property taxes, and it's aggravating to me that people paying less in property taxes get essentially all the benefits of well-maintained roads and good schools that I, as an EC homeowner, am paying for. Oh well, that's California and its wacky tax revenue structure for ya. I also like San Leandro and the house styles of Estudillo Estates, we looked there too when we were home shopping I am not familiar with the current state of the schools or local politics there although it may tilt a bit more conservative.
I have a friend near me in the Plaza area commuting to Jack London Square and I hear it can be tough, but he drives alone; maybe it's better if you take transit. Hi there. I would recommend El Cerrito and a few neighborhoods in Richmond.
Fairmont and Harding are both good schools and their cachement areas are very walkable and diverse. If you're worried about the test scores you can move to the hills and send your kids to Madera, but it's mostly white and Asian up there, also you'll need to drive.
Richmond Hills families go to Mira Vista, which is a sweet little K-8 school in the hills, incredibly diverse in every way, with a strong parent community. Depending on where you live your kids can walk there. They have a good library, computer lab, band and glee club, and teachers from Richmond Art Center.
The numbers aren't as good as Madera but families in the district still transfer their kids to MV because it's a good school. My kid has friends from the neighborhood and I feel safe letting them tear around on their bikes together. I have friends who live up in Hilltop in some of the developments. There are a lot of professional class AA families there, although I don't think they send their kids to the local school. They're online and a great group. Hi -- my husband and I are looking to buy a home and have honed in on Richmond.
But what are some specific neighborhoods we should be checking out? We're still a few years from buying, so we don't want to bother a realtor. So, we thought we'd ask the wise folks here for recs. First and foremost, we'd want something safe. Preferred qualities would include either a view canyon or bay or walkable to shops, restaurants, park, etc. A nice neighborhood community would be nice, too.
I hear they're putting in a ferry service -- is there a neighborhood that's walkable to the ferry that we should consider?
We plan to have kids one day, but it's rather far off and we care more about diversity in our schools than high test scores. Northeast Richmond is a lovely neighborhood. Our prices are skyrocketing in the good neighborhoods. Yes, there are plans for a ferry by Marina Bay. Marina Bay has a lot of condos though, parts are gated, it is a lovely community if you like that style, communcal green space and very few back yards.
The Richmond Annex is very nice but is quite costly and prices are significantly higher than northeast Richmond or lower Mira Vista. Bottom line though - as Richmond gets the Berkeley lab up and running, our prices will go even higher. And I have to say we are a very nice community.
