Aberfeldie, VIC 3040

The suburb of Aberfeldie is wonderful. Locals are very welcoming & supportive of new comers, in person and with the ‘Aberfeldie good karma’ FB group. The streets are safe and once it’s dark, very peaceful. There’s plenty of attractions & reasons to get out about whether it’s to catch up with family and friends for a coffee at the many cafes, Poyntons, The Boathouse, Calmers or to improve your health and well being with a stroll or vigorous workout along the Maribyrnong river. A hidden gem is Aberfeldie.

Aberfeldie is a leafy suburb on the river. It has some of the best schools in Melbourne nearby, and beautiful parks and sporting facilities. It’s 3km away from public transport, which is both a positive and negative. It’s not far, but far enough that you won’t see high density housing for many decades. It’s quiet, friendly and safe. And a 15 minute drive into the CBD at night. Hard to find a nicer suburb.

Very quiet, close the the best stretch of the river. Great schools and sporting facilities. Easy transport into the city. We love it here.

Aberfeldie isn't known to many Victorians, but it's a very nice suburb next to the river. Mainly families. Gardens and trees everywhere.

I've lived in Aberfeldie for two years and love it. Perfect for walking along the Maribyrnong walking/jogging path. North and Eight Café is one of the best cafe's in Melbourne. Nice people in the suburb, no ferals, or druggies, or bogans. Not many rentals, mainly families that take pride in their homes and gardens.

Family-friendly small suburb nestled next to the river, Essendon and Moonee Ponds. Nice park and river access for walking and running.

Quite expensive, but worth the money.

What was once a lovely sleepy suburb is now a hodgepodge of ugly McMansions mostly on small blocks. The big plus is the location... close to the river, parklands and some good schools.

Some of Melbourne's best schools are located within Aberfeldie, and therefore a very tightly held suburb. Beautiful historic homes and tree lined streets make this a hidden gem within only 7km to Melbourne's CBD.
