Why this Suburb is Melbourne’s Most Undervalued Gem

Here’s the question we’re asked most often: where is the most undervalued suburb in Melbourne?

And our response every time is the same: Brunswick. It's always been the poor cousin to Northcote and Ascot Vale, both of which took off years ago. But Brunswick is nestled right in the middle,  with fantastic access to public transport and plenty of parklands. It also still has large family homes for sale, while they’ve been razed in most other northern suburbs  to build tiny rows of townhouses. Sydney Road is starting to thrive with new bars, cafes and lifestyle shops, while Lygon St is well on its way.. But let's delve into why we think it's one of the best.

Proximity to the CBD

One of Brunswick's most enticing features is its proximity to the heart of Melbourne. Whether you prefer to walk, run, cycle, or take public transport, the CBD is a stone's throw away. For those who enjoy an active lifestyle, Brunswick offers convenient access to scenic walking paths and bike routes that lead directly into the city. Alternatively, commuters can take advantage of the three train stations throughout the suburb, making the daily commute a breeze. Trams and buses are also readily available, providing additional travel options for residents.

Unbeatable connectivity

With three train stations (Anstey, Brunswick, and Jewell), Brunswick serves as a multimodal transport hub. The Upfield train line runs through the middle, providing easy access to the city and other key destinations. This connectivity not only makes it a popular choice for commuters but also contributes to Brunswick's appeal as an investment hotspot. Properties located near stations often experience strong demand from tenants and are highly sought by investors.

A Haven for university students

Brunswick's proximity to several unis is another attractive aspect for investors. Students attending institutions like RMIT University and the University of Melbourne find Brunswick an ideal location to call home. The easy commute to these universities via public transport is also good for students seeking off-campus housing. This steady influx of students ensures a consistent demand for rental properties, providing a stable rental market for savvy investors.

Full of cafes and restaurants and more on the horizon

Brunswick boasts a lively cultural scene and a diverse community. Known for its artistic flair and creative atmosphere, the suburb is home to a wide range of cafes, restaurants, boutiques, and live music venues. The bustling Sydney Road, in particular, offers an array of international cuisines, eclectic shopping options, and a vibrant nightlife. This diversity and unique character add to the suburb's appeal, attracting residents seeking an exciting and dynamic lifestyle.

Realising the potential

While there are still lots of level crossings which make the area a little congested.. As soon as these are removed, we expect there will be a large boom in the area.
