Kensington Road

"Busy but Beautiful Tree-Lined street"

Kensington Rd is only a few streets down Toorak Rd from Chapel St. It has beautiful Oak trees lining the street and has only one entrance with a dead end where the mansions are at the end. On-street parking is a problem, with vitually all the properties being multiple dwellings (at least 12 apartments). It has trams in Toorak Rd, is a 10 minute walk from South Yarra train station, world famous retail shopping and nightlife in Chapel St, Bike/ walking tracks along the yarra (accessed by a set of stairs near the end of the street).
I live in a great set of apartments, with all the neighbours getting along. A 2 bedroom unit will cost you around $300 000, but its important to take the suburb into account. The mansions further are anything from $2-5 Million. I love living in Kensington Rd, safe secure and pretty.. and my Gran lived in the same street 50 years ago!

How affordable are the houses in that area? You mentioned mansions...

I've adjusted my review. My place was $330 000 4 years ago, but a larger one went for over $410 a year ago. There are smaller places in the street however and cost less. The 1 bed are around $200 000. As i've said in the review, you need to take into account that South Yarra is a beautiful suburb so it is expected to pay a bit more.

Cool, thanks for the update. I used to live on Park St a while ago.
