Current buying opportunities in Richmond, Time Out's 10th coolest neighbourhood
Time Out's annual list of the 49 coolest neighbourhoods in the world, ranks the Melbourne suburb of Richmond as tenth on the list.
Richmond is the best-performing Australian suburb on the list, beating out Sydney's Surry Hills at 19.
The rankings were based on the Time Out Index survey, which this year polled 27,000 city-dwellers on what they loved and loathed about where they live.
Time Out's panel of experts then ranked the suburbs, noting key aspects including food, drink, nightlife and suburban culture.
"Judges paid particular attention to how communities have been looking after each other, as well as their green credentials as we tackle the climate crisis that affect us all," said Time Out editorial director Cassidy Knowlton.
"Richmond is a close-knit community," she noted.
