Coronado sits just south of the heart of Richmond, a compact neighborhood where front-porch bungalows and modest apartment courts line an easy-to-navigate grid. Residents prize its everyday convenience—groceries, casual eateries, and services along Macdonald Avenue and 23rd Street—plus quick connections to I‑80 and I‑580 for regional commutes across Contra Costa County.
Outdoorsy locals make regular use of nearby green spaces, from the Richmond Greenway and Unity Park for bike rides and dog walks to weekend picnics at Nicholl Park. For deeper dives into local history—and shoreline sunsets—Coronado is a straight shot to the waterfront’s Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park, a fascinating, family-friendly stop stewarded by the National Park Service. Cultural outings also include exhibits and events at the Richmond Museum of History & Culture.
Commuters have a full toolkit: frequent buses via AC Transit, BART service from the Richmond station, and the Richmond route of San Francisco Bay Ferry to the San Francisco Ferry Building. Schools fall within the West Contra Costa Unified School District, with neighborhood families attending nearby elementary, middle, and high school campuses supported by districtwide arts, STEM, and dual-language programs.
