About the City of Richmond

The City of Richmond lies on the east shore of San Francisco Bay, five miles north of Berkeley and seven miles from downtown San Francisco. A hub of multimodal transportation, many of our residents and businesses are located in Richmond because of its central location and access to Amtrak/Capitol Corridor, BART, AC Transit, ferry, and two freeways. Both residents and employees really appreciate the recreational opportunities, which include 32 miles of shoreline and over 3,000 acres of shoreline parks, more Bay Trail completed than any other city, several recreational boat harbors and yacht clubs, and thousands of acres of contiguous inland regional parks. The City has substantial economic resources but is still affordable compared to other Bay Area cities, and our community is welcoming, diverse, and actively engaged. Richmond is truly the City of Pride and Purpose!
