"Dare to call it “Hip”"

“Mecca of all things cool” and the “star of the (inner) north” are truly apt descriptions of another one of my very favourite Melbourne suburbs.

Living in vibrant Fitzroy is almost a right of passage to that demographic who has tired of the ‘suburbs ‘ and never want to be bored.

Start your search with the streets perpendicular to and between Brunswick and Smith Streets including Rose.

Great public transport, interesting architecture, walking to the CBD and gorgeous public spaces is just the tip of the enormous appeal - remember you shall need a bike ( resident car parking passes are precious!).

"Central Fitzroy"

Fitzroy is one of Melbourne’s oldest inner-city suburbs. It is popularly referred to as the mecca of all things cool and is somewhat more mainstream with great dining spots as well as great restaurants and cafes that offer a relaxed atmosphere with reasonably priced meals. Fitzroy also has some of Melbourne’s best cocktail bars to enjoy. As one of the artsy and unconventional suburbs of Melbourne, you can find many stores of vintage clothing, lots of artistic, musical, literary and spiritual shops. Fitzroy is walkable to all essentials and just about anything one requires. It is only minutes to the CBD and tram for easy accessibility. Many people choose this suburb as it has so much to offer while maintaining a very Bohemian lifestyle.

For a standard 2-bedroom unit, you can expect to pay approx $600.00 per week in rent.

"Star of the Northside"

Adjoining the CBD - & offering walkability to all that has to offer – Fitzroy is Melbourne’s oldest (1839) & smallest suburbs which provides a lot of its heritage architecture charm. Gentrification of the suburb has well & truly occurred & while some of its bohemian & druggie residents remain – but as a much smaller part of the populace – they have been replaced by high income hipsters, professionals & downsizers. Factories and warehouse sites have been converted into apartments or demolished to make way for multi residential with a wide variance in the merit of the contemporary architecture - some of it being of pretty dubious quality. Lots of Victorian & Edwardian residences, particularly single fronted terraces. As well as one of Melbourne’s largest Housing Commission complexes - Atherton Gardens on Brunswick St at the city end. It’s a culturally rich with many art galleries & performance spaces for live music etc. As well as having an incredible range of cafes, restaurants & bars. If you don’t want to walk into the CBD you can catch a tram on Brunswick, Gertrude or Nicholson streets. The Fitzroy swimming pool (outdoor heated 50m) is a great community asset. While the main “shopping strip” - Brunswick St is acknowledged as a Melbourne attraction given its cafes, restaurants & interesting retail - residents often lament the noise & out of suburb “tourists” it attracts - especially in the weekends & wish its retail mix was more practical. Residents are also able to enjoy all that neighbouring Collingwood (now even hipper than Fitzroy!) & Carlton provide.

Fitzroy has enjoyed consistently strong capital growth for houses – which is likely to continue given its proximity to CBD, historic architectural feel & cultural & culinary attractions - Scott Hall Buyers Advocate 0457 513 124

"Funky and Fabulous"

I absolutely love Fitzroy! As an agent who has been operating in the area for the past four years, Fitzroy continues to offer a vibrant flare. Whether you’re discovering a funky new bar, café or heading out to see a live gig there is always something on to see or do! The residents of Fitzroy are creative souls, another reason why I am drawn to working in the area as I am fortunate to meet many wonderful walks of life.
