A closer look at Richmond

Just north of the CBD, Richmond is known for its generous street widths, mature trees and strong community feel. The Avon River and its red-zone green spaces thread through the suburb, and the mix of villas and family homes keeps it surprisingly affordable for how central it is. It's an established, leafy pocket with a genuine neighbourhood character, minutes from town but with a quieter, more settled pace.
