Pretty streets with gorgeous, Victorian-era homes, tall apartments that have great views of the city, the MCG – a stone’s throw away, hip cafes and a range of diverse restaurants.
Sounds like one place and one place only – Richmond, Victoria!
We love Richmond. It’s one of the most sought-after suburbs in Melbourne – for many different reasons. Today, the proud Melburnians from StayCentral tell us why Richmond is such a great suburb to call home while you’re here.
