Furnished Townhousesin Richmond.

“Richmond went from factories to founders without changing the streetscape.”

Richmond sits 3km east of Melbourne's CBD and is one of the city's most striking gentrification stories — a working-class manufacturing and immigrant suburb (large Vietnamese, Greek and Italian populations through the late 20th century) whose post-industrial transformation has made it Australia's densest cluster of technology employers. REA Group, MYOB, and the Australian arms of multiple international SaaS companies sit in converted warehouses and new low-rise commercial buildings along Cremorne, Burnley and the Richmond Station precinct. Bridge Road remains a fashion and dining strip; Victoria Street is one of Australia's best Vietnamese food precincts; Swan Street is a younger café and bar belt. The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) sits at the western edge, drawing AFL and cricket crowds through summer and winter. Renter demographics are mixed but tech-heavy: software engineers, product managers and operations staff at the surrounding companies, tradespeople and hospitality workers, and a long-standing Vietnamese-Australian community along Victoria Street. Housing stock is dominated by Victorian terraces (heavily renovated and subdivided), warehouse conversions in Cremorne and Burnley, and 1980s low-rise apartment blocks. Walk Score is very high. Richmond Station on the Lilydale, Belgrave, Alamein and Glen Waverley lines reaches Flinders Street in 4 minutes. Trams 12, 70, 75, 78 and 109 thread through the suburb. Typical furnished tenants include tech transferees on 3–12 month placements (REA Group, MYOB and similar are heavy users of furnished medium-stay), hospitality workers, and inbound international staff sampling Melbourne. Adjacent precincts include Cremorne (densest tech-employer cluster), Burnley (quieter, more residential) and East Melbourne (closer to Parliament and the inner CBD).
