What Cambridge is known for: Green suburb

Suburb profile

Set among the hills of Richmond, Cambridge is a smaller community with bushland views and a cooler, leafier feel. Far from the capital hubbub, it offers genuine distance, local character and room to live at a slower pace. Ridge-top pockets and tree cover give the area a cooler, greener hillside feel.

Long-term locals and family households define much of the community, with a community of people who commute and work locally. The market sits in a sensible middle ground: not cheap, but fair value for the area.

Tree-lined streets and established homes set the tone, with little pressure to reinvent the neighbourhood.
