Brunswick East is popular with students for its artsy, bohemian vibe. With direct tram access to RMIT and the University of Melbourne, it’s a convenient and lively place to live.
The suburb offers live music venues, organic grocers, quirky cafes, and community-focused spaces, creating a unique student lifestyle. It’s perfect for creative and socially-minded renters.
Wander through 4.5 hectares beside the Merri Creek. This unique, non-profit centre offers an organic grocery and café, nursery and environmental education courses, complete with chooks. Open every day 0900-1700 with a Makers and Flea Market each Saturday.
Closer to home you can cycle, walk or enjoy a bbq in Allard and Jones Parks.
Just up the road you’ll find the Lost and Found Market – a haven of fabulous vintage/retro stalls under one roof offering furniture, clothing, bric-a-brac and vinyl but only open Friday – Sunday.
For the dedicated bargain hunters, Sydney Road has oodles of outlet stores and the celebrated Savers Store and Brunswick Salvos store.
You’re spoiled for choice in the eating and drinking stakes, including award-winning locally produced craft beer at the Thunder Road Brewery, a delicious menu and live music at the Spotted Mallard and the authentic feel and taste of Greek cuisine at Hellenic Republic.
Feeling energetic? Then consider Brunswick City Baths with heated indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, steam room and spa and also offering a range of fitness programmes – all at student concession rates!
