Lifestyle in Richmond

Home to the Richmond Tigers football club, Richmond is a buzzing, contemporary suburb that has undergone a steady process of gentrification since the 1990s, transforming what was once a working-class borough of the manufacturing industry into a popular den of eclectic art and culture. The quirky combination of Victorian terraces and post-war working cottages, warehouse conversions, art deco lofts and modern townhouses blend together for an architecturally rich and visually riveting demonstration of Melbourne charisma that attracts buyers from far and wide.

Transport

As a vibrant suburb, Richmond has plenty of public transport, including five train stations, seven tram routes, a bus route and a series of bicycle trails, including the Capital City Trail and the Yarra River Trail.

Richmond is serviced by tram numbers 12 and 109, 78, 48, 75 and 70. Railway lines Pakenham, Cranbourne, Frankston, Lilydale, Belgrave, Glen Waverley, Sandringham and Alamein all travel through Richmond, stopping at Richmond, North Richmond and West Richmond railway stations.

Outdoor Spaces

Richmond is an ideal suburb for those who love the outdoors, with a plethora of walking trails, manicured gardens and peaceful parks to explore. Enjoy a picnic, go for a stroll with the dog in the fresh air or simply relax and read a book while soaking up the beautiful views and verdant landscapes. Popular outdoor spaces and trails include:

  • Maymont Estate
  • Belle Isle
  • Libby Hill Park
  • Citizens Park (Richmond Oval)
  • Allen Bain Reserve
  • Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden
  • Virginia Capital Trail
  • Burnley Park
  • Barkly Gardens

Schools

Richmond has a range of primary and secondary educational institutions, including Melbourne Girls’ College, St Kevin’s College, Richmond Primary School, Richmond West Primary School, Yarra Primary School, Trinity Catholic Primary School and Richmond High School.

Coffee & Cuisine

Melbourne is renowned for its coffee houses and restaurants, and Richmond proves no different, as residents are spoilt for choice when it comes to finding their favourite coffee. If you love coffee and cuisine, Richmond is the place to be, with many boutique cafes dotted around the suburb offering up delicious food and barista-made brews.

Go for brunch in one of the many arty, laid-back eateries, many of which now source local, organic and free-range produce or enjoy a high tea and glass of bubbly at a boutique cafe. Be sure to venture down to Victoria street to indulge in some of the most acclaimed Vietnamese food and Asian cuisine.

Attractions

Richmond is a diverse inner suburb of Melbourne, conveniently located only 3km east of Melbourne’s central business district and situated in the City of Yarra.

Richmond is home to an array of shopping, famous restaurants and, most impressively, the biggest sporting venue in the Southern hemisphere; the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

There’s no shortage of things to see and do in Richmond; catch some cricket in the summer, visit the Victoria Gardens shopping centre for some retail therapy or venture around the streets and alleys to see the world-class street art.

Recognised as one of Melbourne’s most stylish suburbs, Richmond is the place to be for those seeking a modern, vibrant and buzzing lifestyle.

Here’s What Our Clients Have To Say

“I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Helena. She was incredibly efficient and got the job done quickly without sacrificing quality. She was always available to answer my questions and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Her dedication and knowledge of the market were invaluable. I would highly recommend Helena to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.”
-Eric Lee
“Thankyou Tonya for your amazing skills and masterful negotiation tactics in helping us get our next stage/ forever house. Tonya was absolutely amazing, insightful and willing to listen to our wants and concerns. I had never used a buyers advocate before, but after my experience with Davidson Property Advocates, I wouldn’t think of buying a property without their help. Tonya is thorough, friendly and extremely professional. I highly recommend Tonya to anyone looking to purchase a property”
-Claire Brownfoot
“Being new to Victoria it was great to have such knowledgeable partners as Tonya and Claire working with us. They walked us through the buying process, gave us plenty of options to view and provided expert advice on everything from renovations, to transport links and best streets to buy in. Tonya in particular was so supportive when we went off and explored other areas that were outside the brief and never made us feel pressured into anything. I would highly recommend Tonya to help you in your next purchase.”
-Marilena Crevola
"Tonya Davidson is absolutely amazing! I had never used a buyers advocate before, but after my experience with Davidson Property Advocates, I wouldn’t think of buying any property without her. She is a master negotiator, who never stops working for her clients (even while she’s on holiday!) Tonya is thorough, extremely professional and just the best all round. She knows the market and all the players. It’s no wonder she has won the Advocate of the Year Award, and has been nominated again this year. A top operator on every level."
-Louise Carroll
"Tonya was a true delight to work with. Her warmth, professionalism and impressive network helped make our buying process much smoother. She knew exactly what we were looking for and ultimately helped us purchase the property we fell in love with. Her clear and transparent communication style meant that we always knew what was going on at every stage of the process. Tonya remained easily accessible throughout the entire buying process and worked tirelessly on our behalf. We have already recommended her to our friends, and will continue to do so."
-Carissa Chye
"Tonya is a pleasure to work with - she is highly professional, brings a wealth of experience and knowledge of the property market and genuinely wants the best for her clients. She works hard for you, is unfazed by challenges, talks through the facts and takes the stress out of any situation (she also has a wicked sense of humour!). There is absolutely no way we would have purchased our beautful family home without her and we can't thank her enough. We had been looking for a house for 12 months before we engaged Tonya. Absolutely recommend her services!"
-Joanne Briggs
"So efficient, knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with. In a difficult market Tonya got us an amazing outcome. Her advice was honest, informed and rational, her experience and market knowledge was second to none. Her determination and patience meant we were always confident and never felt rushed into any decision we weren’t comfortable with. We absolutely recommend Tonya."
-Jen Smith
"In the beginning we were unsure whether to utilise the services of a buyers agent. I think we all start by thinking this. Boy, are we glad we found Tonya and Claire and decided to run with them. The old adage that you don’t know what you don’t know proved correct in our case. We thought we knew enough to manage the process well enough and probably would have done okay, just. However, the twists and turns and our lack of local knowledge had us soon realise we would have definitely struggled to get our best outcome. Tonya and Claire, kept us informed, calmed us and had us comfortable in the knowledge that all required expertise was at hand. We have subsequently purchased and are very happy. Great job guys. You are very appreciated."
-Phil Usher
"There are Buyers Agents and Buyers Agents and then there’s Tonya Davidson. She is the best by a mile. Tonya has made our search for a property so seamless. She is smart, determined, professional, diligent and a joy to work with. We could not have found exactly what we were looking for without her and at a better price than we would have been able to negotiate. I’m happy to speak to anyone about how fantastic Tonya is."
-Kate Costello
