Richmond doesn’t get the press that inner-city suburbs do, but the locals aren’t complaining. The coworking guide scene here is solid, unpretentious, and growing. Quarter and The Good Yard are among the standouts, but they’re not the only ones worth your time. Richmond sits 15-30km from the CBD, and what it lacks in hype it makes up for in substance. Richmond is a growing Melbourne suburb with its own local character and community.
