Wide, quiet, leafy, close to transport, walking distance to High Street.

Absolutely loving life in Thornbury. Having moved here from leafy Park Orchards I appreciate being able to stroll 300-400 metres in any direction and end up on a tram which gets me to the city in less than 30min. If that fails, I can jump on a train and go to my office in town (door to door) within 25min.

There are cafes, bars and restaurants of the highest quality all along High Street. There are great parks and bike paths - my favourite being along the Merri Creek. There are good primary schools and an up and coming public school in Northcote High. House renovations - particularly to some of the old Californian Bungalows that are prevalent in the area - makes Thornbury even more attractive.

What I love the most however is the diversity of cultures. The suburb is a mixture of hipster, professionals, young families and older europeans who settled here decades ago.

Loving Thornbury.
