Prahran Suburb Profile

Whether it’s catching a show at an independent theatre, clubbing until the early hours (or all hours if you so desire), or drinking and dining at one of the city’s hottest new venues, when it comes to revelry, Prahran certainly doesn’t disappoint. Living in Prahran means enjoying a lively neighbourhood that has the character and stamina to keep you busy from day to night, to day again. But rest assured it’s not all about debauchery. Prahran also offers a sophisticated dining scene and leafy residential backstreets. 

Between the shopping mecca of Chapel Street and the low-key cool of Greville Street, with its record stores and boutiques, friendly Prahran still manages to possess a village-like feel. The shopping is first-rate, and vintage fans can look to the delightful Chapel Street Bazaar, where they’re likely to unearth a treasure or two among the store’s baroque spoils. While chic cafés are plentiful, the numerous design studios and art galleries are a nod to the area’s creative past. Living in Prahran also means being close to the iconic Prahran Market, which further cements the neighbourhood’s reputation as one of Melbourne’s premier foodie destinations. Close to the city, not too far from the beach, and well connected to public transport, Prahran is the perfect spot for those who love to feel like they’re in the thick of things.
