About Kew
Kew is one of Melbourne's most prestigious suburbs, an established enclave of 24,500 in Boroondara, just 6 kilometres from the CBD. The Alamein line terminates here, while trams serve High Street. Grand Victorian and Edwardian homes on leafy streets, private schools of exceptional reputation, and significant heritage character define a suburb that represents Melbourne's establishment.
The lifestyle is affluent and established—Kew Junction offers quality retail, the parklands along the Yarra provide recreation, and prestigious schools including Trinity Grammar, Xavier College, and MLC draw families from across Melbourne. Kew attracts wealthy families, professionals, and those who value heritage homes, excellent schools, and proximity to the city in one of Melbourne's most desirable residential addresses.
Kew falls under postcode 3101 and is governed by Boroondara Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Kew (Southern Metropolitan) electorate.
