South Melbourne, VIC 3205 - Suburb Profile & Local Reviews - Homely (2024)

Stunning, renovated Victorian terraces in tree lined streets. Close to the beach, the city and many parks. Has access to Albert Park's highlights including St Vincent's place, MSAC and Bridport street, but not quite as expensive.
Best area is Howe St/Ferrars place block, which is quiet, leafy and fantastic Victorian streetscape.
Problem is the cost of housing, and parking can be a difficult in some areas.

I live in South Melbs for 2 years and loved it. We were just off Clarendon st. It's a great area with lots going on pubs, places to eat etc.. but is also close to the beach & albert park which is great on a hot day. The only downside is that there can be a few 'characters' around the 7Eleven and Coles supermarket, but have never had any trouble

South Melbourne is of my favourite suburbs. It's on the city doorstep however has a very individual feel. The iconic South Melbourne Market is a huge attraction and thousands of visitors flock to weekly. Clarendon Street is its main shopping strip with lots of cafe's and restaurants. The best part of South Melbourne are the hidden lane way's - look closely and you will find funky wine bars on every corner :)

A great suburb to live in - the South Melbourne market, easy access to the CBD, close to Albert Park and also the Royal Botanic Gardens! Many great restaurants and cafes.

A quiet suburb with all the bells and whistles and even better located a mere 2kms South of the CBD. Here you will find the iconic South Melbourne market where you can indulge in some of the best food and coffee that Melbourne has to offer. South Melbourne is one of the oldest suburban areas breaming at the seams with well preserved Victorian era homes and streetscapes.
