"Bayside living without the crowds"
Parkdale gives you the best of both worlds — a relaxed beachside vibe with city access in about half an hour. Locals love the easy lifestyle here: morning walks along the sand, grabbing coffee from the village strip, and fish and chips by the water.
It’s family-friendly too, with great schools, plenty of parks, and sporting clubs that actually bring people together. The train and Nepean Highway make getting around simple, and Southland’s just up the road when you need more shopping.
The real draw? You get that holiday feel every day, without the hustle of the busier bayside suburbs.

"The quiet and peaceful sister of St Kilda"
This suburb has all the best of St Kilda, and none of the bad. Great cafes and restaurants along Carlisle St, butchers, fresh fruit and veg grocers, bargain discount shops...yet none of the backpacker hostels or dirty nightclubs that is found in St Kilda.
The result - a place for young singles and families alike to enjoy pleasant and peaceful inner city living.
Great for
- Close to Melbourne city and St Kilda Beach
- Excellent public transport options.
- Great shopping/ cafes/ restaurants - and don't forget the bagels
Not great for
- Car traffic in Carlisle Street can become congested at times due to the trams.
