Living in Middle Park
The Locals

There’s a lot to love about Middle Park. In fact, when it comes to lifestyle, this delightful bayside suburb boasts what is surely one of Melbourne’s most enticing offerings. Living in Middle Park means enjoying beautiful homes that are often examples of Victorian, Edwardian, and Federation architecture at their finest. 

Armstrong Street is home to a small yet inviting shopping strip with a collection of cheerful cafés, a much-loved gift shop, and a few stylish boutiques. Despite being just five kilometres from the city, Middle Park’s lush, green streets feel safe and peaceful, making it the perfect spot for young families. The popular neighbourhood primary school, playgrounds, and bustling beachfront only add to this easy charm, while the pervading sense of warmth and strong community spirit see dog-toting neighbours chatting over newspapers and lattes. 

And while family-friendly Middle Park tends to go to bed rather early, those in search of a party need only look to neighbouring St Kilda and its pumping nightlife or to Albert Park with its host of dining options. Whether it’s evening strolls along palm tree-lined Beaconsfield Parade or leisurely brunch on Armstrong Street, living in Middle Park offers a serene lifestyle with plenty of local character that keeps postcode-proud locals loyal. 

Area Features

Coffee Crazy

Middle Park locals are coffee aficionados. And more often than not you’ll find them, newspaper in hand, gossiping with neighbours over lattes in one of the area’s charming cafés.

Middle Park Village

Armstrong Street’s ‘village’ is a hive of social activity and the centre of all goings on in sleepy Middle Park. Whether you’re brunching or browsing, come weekends (or any day really) this is the place to be.

Beach Time

Whether it’s ambling along Kerferd Road pier or strolling the waterfront promenade, when the sun is shining it’s straight to the beach.

While somewhat more low key than glamorous Albert Park, Middle Park has joined its neighbour in becoming one of Melbourne’s most well-to-do suburbs. It’s only natural that it’s a favourite amongst the city’s affluent set. Comfortable rather than flashy, Middle Park is family territory first and foremost. Indeed, it seems everyone is in agreement that this is the perfect place to raise children. Likewise, professionals are drawn by its proximity to the city and calm lifestyle. Whether you’re young or old, this is a place for those who like their creature comforts in a quiet setting.
