May Valley, located between Wildcat Canyon Regional Park and the Richmond Country Club, is a residential and hillside Richmond neighborhood with a wooded backdrop and winding streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the May Road and Valley View Road junction, where trailhead energy and dog-walker chatter set the tone. Mid-century ranch homes and later hillside builds follow the contours, with decks and terraced yards facing the canyons. A quiet, outdoors-first rhythm comes from nearby ridgelines and open-space views. Local routines orbit the May Valley Community Park courts and fields, plus weekend rounds at Richmond Country Club. For a cultural reset, the Craneway Pavilion and the SS Red Oak Victory on the waterfront add big-bay scale to the neighborhood’s small-street feel.

Single Family Low Density Residential District
This district is intended for low density residential development with attached and detached single-family homes in level to moderately sloped areas. Dwelling types also may include small lot single unit development, duplexes, townhomes, cottages, bungalows, and second units. Density in this zoning district is a maximum of 15 du per acre. In addition to single-unit homes, this district provides for compatible, supportive uses, such as small family day care, park and recreation facilities, civic and institutional uses, including schools and places for community assembly that may be appropriate in a single-family residential neighborhood, and community gardens. Neighborhood mixed-use development is allowed at neighborhood nodes identified by the Planning Commission. Existing multi-family residential structures may remain and may be improved without increasing densities, or may revert to single-family residential uses.
