This townhouse is located 5km north of the Melbourne CBD so public transport and shopping is close by. If you are looking for an inner city feel, close to the airport but out of the CBD you have come to the right suburb!

The property is located a one-minute walk to Randazzo Park and a ten-minute walk to Methven Park, both of which contain play equipment for children. Randazzo Park has a large timber boardwalk and picnic tables. If you have time to spare, Methven Park is a bigger park with lovely trees and interesting play equipment. It’s close to Wild Life Bakery, famous for its artisan sourdough and bakery treats. Keen walkers or runners will enjoy the trail (~6km round trip) around beautiful Princes Park.
Brunswick is close to the University of Melbourne, Princes Park, Royal Melbourne Hospital, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne Private, Royal Women’s Hospital, Queen Victoria Market and Melbourne Zoo.
Catch the tram or train into the Arts Precinct – 15 minutes – to visit the latest exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria, concert at Sidney Meyer Music Bowl or production at the Arts Centre, Southbank Theatre or Melbourne Recital Centre.
