Richmond
Vibrant Richmond is 2 kms from Melbourne’s CBD and boasts popular shopping precincts, landmark buildings and easily accessible bicycle trails.
The diverse suburb has been the subject of gentrification since the early 1990s and now contains an eclectic mix of expensively converted warehouse residences, public housing high-rise flats and Victorian-era terrace houses along with a lively retail sector and a shrinking industrial and manufacturing base. Richmond has an established transport system involving arterial roads, five train stations, seven tram routes, a bus route and a series of bicycle trails.
