Parchester Village, Richmond, California

Parchester Village is a planned majority African-American village in northwestern Richmond, California that was the first in the state to sell to blacks.

History
After World War II temporary housing was torn down in Richmond, many black residents were not allowed to move into what was left. ==Geography==
Geography
The area is served by AC Transit's 71 and 376 bus lines that connect the rather isolated neighborhood with downtown Richmond the BART and Amtrak station, and Contra Costa College in San Pablo. This is in addition to the Hilltop Area and the Richmond Parkway Transit Center commuter hub. There are also about half a dozen 600-series school routes connecting the village with area middle and high schools. The neighborhood is bordered by Point Pinole Regional Shoreline and the West Contra Costa County Detention Center to the north, Atlas road, SPRR tracks, and the Richmond Country Club to the east, the Richmond Parkway to the southeast, grassland flats to the south, and Breuner Marsh and San Pablo Bay to the west. The area has expansive views of the waterfront, park, and Marin County and North Bay Mountains. The neighborhood's streets are plagued by very serious potholes that have not been addressed by the city due to lack of funds. ==References==
