A city shaped by shipyard history, now home to two of the East Bay's most distinct waterfront pockets: Point Richmond and Marina Bay.
Welcome to Richmond
Richmond sits on the northern edge of the East Bay along San Francisco Bay, a city with a long industrial history that's given way to revitalized neighborhoods, waterfront parks, and a growing arts scene. It's also one of the more affordable ways to be close to San Francisco without the price tag of its southern neighbors — with two neighborhoods, Point Richmond and Marina Bay, that stand out for buyers specifically.

History
Richmond's earliest inhabitants were the Ohlone people, who lived in the region for more than 5,000 years. The city's more recent identity was forged during World War II, when it became one of the country's major shipbuilding hubs — a legacy that still shapes its neighborhoods and its story today.
Point Richmond
Point Richmond dates back to 1902 and was originally the city's commercial center. Today it's a genuinely charming, walkable pocket of boutique shops, restaurants, and early 20th-century architecture — the kind of small-town feel that surprises people who only know Richmond by reputation.
Marina Bay & Rosie the Riveter
Marina Bay began taking shape around 1980, when developers turned a former WWII-era shipyard along Richmond's southern shoreline into a 350-acre master-planned community. It's now a laid-back waterfront neighborhood with contemporary housing, scenic Bay views, and top-rated schools. At Marina Bay Park, the Rosie the Riveter Memorial honors the neighborhood's shipyard history and the women who worked the factory lines during the war — a landmark that anchors the area's identity.
