The original establishment suburb

One of Melbourne’s earliest residential enclaves for wealthy industrialists, distinguished politicians, surgeons and professionals, Richmond Hill was the city’s original ‘establishment’ suburb. With atmospheric tree-lined streets such as The Vaucluse punctuated by remarkable examples of 19th-century architecture, this highly sought-after and tightly held area retains much of the same charm that drew its early residents, with many of Richmond Hill’s grandest properties having been handed down to the next generation through its founding families.
