The Richmond District is a flat neighborhood in the northwest corner of San Francisco that was developed in the late 19th century (our building is from 1912). The Richmond is defined by its relation to the parks; bordered by Golden Gate Park on the south, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and Lincoln Park, Land's End, Mountain Lake Park (family-friendly park across the street from us) and the Presidio National Park (also across the street) to the north. We have easy access to Marin and wine country to the north across the Golden Gate Bridget (my morning bike ride). There are many dozens of restaurants, stores,. and shopping within easy walking distance.

The apartment is a block away from both north to south and east to west bus lines that run quite frequently during the day (there are express buses to downtown in the morning and back in the afternoon). Depending on your plans, a car isn't needed unless you expect to do a lot of touring outside of San Francisco proper.
