About Richmond
Richmond is a quiet small town in northern Macomb County, located about forty miles north of Detroit near the St. Clair County line. Home to roughly 6,000 people, the community grew around the railroad in the 1800s and still retains a lot of its historic charm. Today, it offers a peaceful, close-knit atmosphere where neighbors know each other and the pace of daily living slows down.
Local kids attend Richmond Community Schools, and the town comes together each fall for the popular Richmond Good Old Days Festival. Outdoor enthusiasts love being right at the eastern trailhead of the Macomb Orchard Trail, a paved path that stretches across the county for biking and walking. With quick access to M-19, Gratiot Avenue, and I-94, you can easily commute to Detroit or Port Huron while coming home to open skies, quiet subdivisions, and nearby cider mills.
