Richardson Real Estate Agents

Richardson has a no-fuss character that appeals to people who want a straightforward, well-located suburb without paying a premium. It sits in the southern part of the Tuggeranong valley between Chisholm and Isabella Plains, covering about 2.2 square kilometres with a population of around 3,000. The streets are calm, the blocks are a good size, and the overall feel is practical and family-friendly.

The suburb was established in the early 1980s, and the housing stock is predominantly homes on large suburban blocks. There is a mix of original homes and updated properties, giving buyers options at different price points. Richardson Primary School on Doyle Place is well regarded locally, and the suburb has a neighbourhood oval and connections to the broader Tuggeranong scouting and sporting community. The Tuggeranong Homestead, a heritage site nearby, offers the perfect charm if you're hosting a wedding or special event.

Richardson no longer has its own shops, but the Calwell shops and the Tuggeranong town centre are both just a short drive away. The Monaro Highway runs along the eastern edge of the suburb, providing a direct connection south, while Johnson Drive and Ashley Drive link to the Tuggeranong Parkway for city and Woden commutes.

With a younger median age than most Tuggeranong suburbs and a relatively high proportion of renters alongside owner-occupiers, Richardson has an active turnover and a buyer pool that includes first-home purchasers, investors, and growing families. That diversity means there is almost always someone looking. We can help you position your home to make the most of it.
