Description

Ideal home for someone who bikes / scooters / takes public transit. 2 blocks to BART, next door to neighborhood grocery store. No parking on the property, and street parking can be limited.

New refrigerator, floors, countertop, and freshly painted kitchen.
The apartment has original wood paneled walls, tile floors and bathtub in bathroom, a separate living room and kitchen and an instant water heater for lower bills.
Rooftop antenna brings in 75 HD digital channels (with no cable bill)

This is a unique housing set-up, with several separate buildings on one lot. Yard and laundry area are shared.
Owners lived on site until last year, and have a good relationship with existing tenants. We are real people, not a corporation or property management company.
Our aim is to continue to foster a sense of community where each household on the property gets along with each other and contributes to the common good. It is a diverse micro-community, including 2 children, and everyone shares the common spaces. Each household helps keep the common spaces clean and inviting. Owner is a handyman, so any maintenance needs are addressed immediately, and since the owners lived here we try to keep it as nice as if... well, as if we lived here!
The city has strict rent control, which means your rent can never go up as much as inflation!

Shared laundry machines, small yard, and a garden box for you to plant whatever you would like. The property is enclosed with a locked gate.

Located in Central Richmond, 2 blocks from Richmond BART station and 7 bus lines, and near several bike boulevards for an easy commute. Small grocery store located next door, walking distance to city hall, library, and 23rd St shops. Ideal for a car-free household (no off-street parking, and parking in front can be a challenge).
If you work nights and sleep in the day, please be aware there is a easy going child who lives upstairs.
