Richmond is the administrative seat of the Val-Saint-François MRC, home to about 3,500 residents, located halfway between Sherbrooke and Drummondville on the banks of the Saint-François River, at the heart of the Eastern Townships. A bilingual town with a strong Loyalist heritage — the legacy of 19th-century English-speaking settlers — Richmond retains striking Victorian architecture and an active cultural life. The rue Barlow sector, where our 179-181 triplex is located, belongs to the quiet residential district next to the CLSC and municipal services, a few steps from the river.
Richmond is about 35 minutes from Sherbrooke via Route 143, and 30 minutes from Drummondville via Routes 116 and 255. Highway 55, 10 minutes away, opens up the Montreal-Quebec corridor. The Richmond-Melbourne VIA Rail station offers passenger service to Montreal and Quebec City — a rare advantage in the Eastern Townships for long-distance travel without a car. The Val-Express transit service connects Richmond to Sherbrooke on weekdays.
Richmond has all essential services within walking distance or a short drive: the Richmond CLSC (110 rue Barlow, literally next door to our building), Saint-Francis primary school, Richmond Regional secondary school, a grocery, pharmacy, banks, hardware store and several restaurants. The municipal library, sports centre and town hall (745 rue Gouin) round out the offering. The CLSC's immediate proximity is particularly valued by seniors and young families.
Richmond cultivates a unique character in the Eastern Townships. The Melbourne Centennial Hall cultural centre and the annual cultural season draw audiences from well beyond the town. Walking trails and the bike path along the Saint-François River are accessible on foot from rue Barlow. The Richmond Melbourne Golf Club and Camping Melbourne, across the river, add outdoor dimensions. In winter, the municipal skating rink and regional snowmobile trails take over.
Renting in Richmond means choosing a human-scale town with all essential services and a quality of life big cities no longer offer at this price. Our 179-181 rue Barlow triplex offers large spacious 5½ and 3½ apartments, on a quiet street, steps away from the CLSC, grocery, school and river trails. It's the ideal address for professionals commuting to Sherbrooke or Drummondville, families looking for a safe neighbourhood, or retirees who want everything within reach.
