Panhandle Annex balances everyday ease with surprising access to the best of the Bay. Centered in Richmond and moments from El Cerrito and Berkeley, the neighborhood puts you close to the multi-use Richmond Greenway, a car-free route that links to parks, gardens, and the Bay Trail. Commuters appreciate multiple options: frequent AC Transit bus lines, BART from the Richmond Station, and the San Francisco Bay Ferry for a scenic ride to the city.
Streets here mix classic bungalows and postwar cottages with newer infill homes, and weekend rhythms often revolve around neighborhood cafes, the Macdonald Avenue corridor, and community arts. A local favorite, the Richmond Art Center, anchors exhibitions and hands-on classes that bring creatives of all ages together. Outdoor time is easy to find—ride the Greenway to pocket parks, explore shoreline paths a short drive away, or stroll to small grocers and eateries that make weeknight errands painless.
Families benefit from the West Contra Costa Unified School District, with nearby elementary, middle, and high school options serving this part of Contra Costa County. Active neighbors plug into gardening projects and volunteer days along the Greenway, youth programs, and sports leagues, underscoring a community that shows up for each other.
