About Richmond

Richmond is a compact inner-western suburb of Adelaide, situated approximately 4 kilometres south-west of the Adelaide CBD within the City of West Torrens council area. The suburb covers just 1.4 square kilometres and is home to 3,474 residents, with a median age of 36 and a median household income of $1,383 per week. Richmond has a notably multicultural character, with a significant Indian-born community alongside residents of Chinese, Greek, and Italian heritage, reflecting its appeal to newcomers and established migrant families alike.

The suburb offers a mix of post-war brick homes and newer infill development, with everyday conveniences available along nearby shopping strips on Marion Road and at Kurralta Park shopping centre to the north-east. Bus services connect Richmond to the Adelaide CBD and the nearby Goodwood rail station on the Seaford Line, making public transport viable for commuters. Its central location, affordable housing relative to nearby inner suburbs, and proximity to schools and major arterials such as South Road make Richmond a practical and popular choice for families and renters.
