Richmond Property Management, Handled by People Who Know the East Bay Waterfront

Richmond sits on the East Bay waterfront in Contra Costa County, a revitalizing city with more affordable rents, a BART station and a San Francisco Bay Ferry terminal. Waterfront neighborhoods like Marina Bay, access to I-580 and I-80, and ongoing investment shape a market where condition and location drive value.

Local knowledge matters in a market with such varied housing stock. Intempus pairs a local Richmond expert with in-house technology: an owner portal for real-time statements, online rent collection and a 24/7 maintenance line. Our fees are transparent and itemized, and careful tenant screening keeps our eviction rate under 1% on placed tenants. We know how to price and market Richmond homes so they lease to qualified residents.

Living in Richmond: Neighborhoods, Schools and Lifestyle

What makes Richmond a place renters want to call home.

Richmond neighborhoods range from historic to waterfront. Point Richmond keeps a small-town feel with its town triangle of shops and dining plus marina views, while Marina Bay is a master-planned community of condos and townhomes along the shoreline. These distinct Richmond neighborhoods attract renters wanting bay access and easy commutes.

Richmond schools serve families through the West Contra Costa Unified School District, which covers Point Richmond, Marina Bay and surrounding areas. Access to neighborhood elementary, middle and high schools makes these Richmond schools an important draw for family renters choosing a long-term home in the city.

Among the top things to do in Richmond, the Rosie the Riveter World War II Home Front National Historical Park honors the city's shipyard history with indoor and outdoor exhibits. Shimada Friendship Park and Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline offer waterside trails and bay views. Living in Richmond means shoreline recreation and skyline vistas that keep tenants content.
