Development often occurs in sizable tracts, exhibiting similarities in building styles, and narrow streets following hill contours. Private covenants in some cases guide development and contribute to maintaining the character of street areas.

Permitted Residential Uses: ADU, dwelling units (one unit per lot), intermediate length occupancy, single room occupancy, student housing and senior housing.

Permitted Non-Residential Uses: Agriculture (neighborhood), passive outdoor recreation, child care facility, public facilities, residential care facility and wireless telecommunications services facility.

The Richmond is in many ways defined by its relation to the parks; the district is bordered by Golden Gate Park on the south, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and Lincoln Park, Land's End, Mountain Lake Park and the Presidio of San Francisco to the north, bisected by the Presidio Greenbelt.

The other two commercial strips are Geary Boulevard and Balboa Street.

The Richmond also has deep Irish and Russian roots and has many Catholic and Orthodox churches.
