Historically, Brunswick was home to European migrants who imparted their culinary flavors and linguistic diversity on the streets of Brunswick. Over time, this has shifted seismically with an influx of young professionals and students as new apartment developments rocket and the mixture of cultures is further embraced - as well as the being located only 6km from Melbourne city. 

Brunswick is unlike any other suburb in Melbourne - its palpable energy is reflected in the urban comfort of the alternative-esque strip shopping, abundance of cafes and restaurants, and hip bars making the suburb appealing for young professionals wanting to settle down somewhere exciting and eclectic as well as young families. 

Who’s next door? Inner city investment apartments for young professionals and growing families. 

Within the narrow side streets of Brunswick, you will find many established young professionals and families. The growing population of 23,000 is particularly increasing with young professionals and tertiary students, mainly due to the affordable rent and relative proximity to RMIT and the University of Melbourne. The highly multicultural suburb also allows young people to be themselves as they wander down the famous Lygon street for a drink at the hottest spots of Brunswick. 

Don’t judge too fast though - there are many older people around the suburb too. Most are as at home as their younger counterparts, picking up their fresh bread from the Lebanese bakery and riding their bikes home to a charming brickwork cottage or a heritage Victorian timber block fronted house.

A vibrant and eclectic culture offers an in-demand investment property scene.
