If you want to live in the middle of everything, including arguably the best breakfast/cafe strip in Melbourne you've come to the right place. I lived here for 7 years and I still miss it every day. I was lucky enough to live in one of those rare cul de sac streets off Carlise St and it was so peaceful. Walk 50 metres though and you are in the middle of everything. Two supermarkets, 20 cafes, great niche record shops, the Wall... and only 5 mins from the beach. It is more of a young person place than a family suburb. Most of my friends with families have moved out to the suburbs.

Balaclava remains young at heart.
