North Melbourne Suburb Profile
Despite its proximity to the CBD, friendly North Melbourne is renowned for maintaining a strong sense of community – postcode-proud locals are fiercely loyal to their charming slice of inner-city living in North Melbourne. The key to living in North Melbourne is the way it successfully manages to sustain that laid-back village feel. Wearing its working-class heritage with pride, the warehouses, cottages, and old-school pubs that populate this football-mad neighbourhood (the white and blue flag is worn with pride on these streets) point to the North Melbourne of yesterday. Buzzing Errol Street, with its impressive roster of cafés, restaurants, and bars, is representative of the area’s flourishing present.
Luckily, increasing gentrification has done little to dampen North Melbourne’s unique spirit. From its heritage-listed Town Hall to the wide streets and undulating hills that are typical of the area – this lively enclave continues to flourish. A cosmopolitan suburb that draws visitors from across the city for its enviable dining options and bourgeoning creative scene, it seems that for North Melbourne, the only way is up.

And with the city centre within walking distance, the living sure is easy. Yet despite gentrification and the skyrocketing prices that come with it, North Melbourne’s old guard still show no sign of leaving.
