Northcote Suburb Profile

Living in Northcote means embracing the hallmarks of its Italian heritage, as this suburb quickly becomes one of Melbourne’s most stylish addresses. From chic wine bars to world-class restaurants and the seemingly never-ending brunch rush-hour, Northcote has emerged from the shadows of its inner-north neighbors, claiming its spot as one of the city’s most desirable postcodes. 

With its unique brand of laid-back cool, living in Northcote is defined by its charming, unpretentious vibe. Locals are often spotted on bikes, heading to organic produce stores or picnicking in leafy All Nations Park. The area’s artistic spirit shines through in its boutiques, record stores, and creative studios, alongside luxe mid-century furniture shops scattered across its streets. 

Iconic venues such as Northcote Social Club and The Croxton host local and international acts, reflecting the vibrant nightlife of this once-sleepy suburb. And just when you think Northcote might have hit its peak, another High Street restaurant opens, a new café buzzes with excitement, and yet another grocer offering biodynamic smoothies appears. Northcote has well and truly arrived.
