Beach near Golden Gate Bridge in Central Richmond San Francisco.

Tucked between Golden Gate Park and the Presidio, Inner Richmond is where culture, cuisine, and calm residential charm come together. Sometimes called the "second Chinatown," this neighborhood is beloved for its diverse food scene, think dim sum, Burmese noodles, Russian bakeries, and cozy cafes, all centered around bustling Clement Street. But beyond the bites, Inner Richmond is a peaceful, walkable area with classic San Francisco homes, leafy streets, and easy access to green spaces. With major parks in every direction and excellent public transit, it's a favorite among students, young professionals, and long-time locals alike. Whether you’re on a food crawl, jogging through the Presidio, or just enjoying the foggy tranquility, Inner Richmond feels like a neighborhood that quietly has it all (without all the hype).

I tell people the Richmond is boring so they don’t move here. Truth is, it’s quieter but easy to get downtown and the food scene is the best in the city.
