Dawson Street, Brunswick, VIC 3056

Dawson street has a lot going for it: near parks, library and Brunswick baths. But Dawson street is a main road, busy with traffic for most of the day. Like other bits of Brunswick it also has a number of industrial type facilities on the street. So if you like diesel fumes and the dinging-grinding of trams then knock yourself out. I live within walking distance to Dawson street and I was really surprised to see it rated so high. It seems really overrated here, possibly driven up by agents and owners looking to sell. Sure Sydney road is nearby, but Sydney road is also nearby a lot of other quieter and nicer streets. Like much of the Brunswick postcode rental costs are too high for most of average quality properties on this street.
