The local civic refers to this neighborhood as Olde Richmond. Much like the surrounding neighborhoods of Fishtown to the south and East Kensington to the west, you'll find that the neighbors are very much involved and generally take pride in their community. Your new home lies within the area of the Olde Richmond Civic Association. you can visit their website at http://olderichmondca.com/. I'd suggest attending a meeting - you'll learn so much about your new home and meet lots of great neighbors
