"Peaceful & Super Convenient"
I had previously lived in Woodville and know the area very well! Woodville North is extremely convenient to local amenities including local schools, shopping facilities and public transport (trains & buses) plus it's distance from the city and beaches. The suburb is fairly safe however does lack night life including eateries. It's definitely an up and coming suburb that's perfect to live in and invest.
Great for
- Shopping facilities
- Large block sizes
- Investment opportunity.
- Location.
Not great for
- Could always do with further property development

"Thoroughfare Street at the Heart of Richmond"
This, along with Milner Rd & Davenport Tce, would have to be one of the busier streets in Richmond however this shouldn't deter you from living here as there are multiple round-a-bouts along the street that reduces people from speeding. The street has loads of large allotments and character homes plus is super convenient to get into the city as there are multiple routes you can take.
Great for
- Easy access between arterial roads
- Close to two schools (Tension Woods & Cowandilla Primary)
- Big Allotments
Not great for
- Thoroughfare road

"Super Convenient and Affordable"
Ashford is a great spot to live, it's perfectly located within close proximity to the CBD and Beach. Most streets are quiet however I find the busiest thoroughfare would be Everard Ave (it cuts through Ashford from Anzac Hwy and connects to South Rd). During business hours it can be difficult getting a park along the Everard Ave however at night it's quite easy.
Prices of homes in the area are still inexpensive in comparison to other city fringe suburbs and there is a great mixture of modern, character homes plus units within the area.
Great for
- Convenience to the CBD and Beach
- Easy public transport
- Ashford Hospital
Not great for
- There is a lack of local take-away shops
- Busy around the Ashford Hospital

Completely agree, we just bought our first house in Richmond, we are bang in the middle of your professionals age bracket at 28 and 29 years old. The suburb is on the way up - being right under West Torrens Council's nose has to be a plus.
