The Good
- Clement Street: cafes, bars, bakeries and a long list of restaurants

- TICs trade about 23% under the citywide TIC median, a real way in
The Tradeoffs
- No light rail, and the 38-Geary gets crowded
- Geary carries a lot of traffic
- Fog, though less of it than the Outer Richmond
- Street parking is tight near Clement and Geary
The Inner Richmond runs from Arguello to Park Presidio, between California Street and Golden Gate Park. It is barely west of Laurel Village and Jordan Park and well east of Ocean Beach, which makes it more central than most people expect. Clement Street is the draw: a mellow commercial corridor of restaurants, bakeries and bookstores, with Geary a block away for everything else. The Fuller Team has been selling San Francisco homes since 2002, so this guide is the version we give clients: what the houses are really like, what they sell for, and who tends to be happy here.
The Neighborhood Block by Block
The Park Starts at Fulton

A Carnegie Library on Ninth Avenue
The Richmond Branch Library opened in 1914 as the first San Francisco library built with Carnegie money, and a 2009 renovation kept it the neighborhood’s living room.

Edwardians Near the Park
The blocks closest to Golden Gate Park hold some of the Richmond’s most ornate early-1900s houses, with deep bays and plenty of trim.

Shingle and Stucco, Side by Side
Brown shingle, stucco and Edwardian wood siding share the same blocks, which keeps a walk down any street interesting.

The Longer Story
The Homes in Detail
Larger single-family homes on standard 25-foot San Francisco lots are typical, most attached or semi-attached to their neighbors. Condos and TICs are found throughout, mostly in smaller buildings, with a few slightly larger infill condo projects.
Houses sold for a median of about $1,330 a square foot last year, and condos about $1,230.
Clement and Geary
Inner Richmond residents have two major shopping corridors. Some pedestrians are put off by the traffic on Geary, but Clement is a much more relaxed street of cafes, neighborhood bars, restaurants and shops.
Getting Around
The 38-Geary is the main bus line through the neighborhood, and it is often crowded. Lines along California and elsewhere add options, but there is no light rail. Driving to the North Bay over the Golden Gate Bridge is relatively painless.
Weather
The Inner Richmond tends to be a little sunnier than its neighbors to the west, the Central and Outer Richmond. It is still the west side, so bring a jacket.
Questions We Hear
Are There Any Notable Historical Landmarks or Sites in Inner Richmond?
Inner Richmond is within easy walking distance to many of the most notable destinations in Golden Gate Park, including the California Academy of Sciences and the de Young Museum, the Japanese Tea Garden, and the Conservatory of Flowers. To the north, check out the lush Presidio national park, home to a former military base and barracks that have been transformed into commercial and residential jewels. The Presidio is also home to artist Andy Goldsworthy’s Wood Line installation.
What Is There to Do in Inner Richmond?
In addition to the wonderful mix of amenities in both the Presidio and Golden Gate Park, locals have plenty of eccentric book and gifts shops and restaurants on Clement Street. The dim sum there is noteworthy enough to have earned the area the nickname New Chinatown. But you can also find excellent casual Thai, Vietnamese, and Burmese restaurants lining the commercial corridor. ,
How Does the Community Vibe in Inner Richmond Contribute to its Real Estate Appeal?
The Inner Richmond is an intriguing and multicultural combination of quiet residential avenues, bustling commercial streets, and beautiful parks with plenty of outdoor activities and museums to explore.
Where Can I Find New Construction in Inner Richmond?
As an “already built” neighborhood, Inner 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.

Prices in Inner Richmond move block by block and season by season, so a single average hides more than it tells. Our Market Notes track current values across the city. For a read on a specific home or street, ask us: we’ll pull the recent sales and tell you what they mean.
