About Melbourne
Melbourne's CBD is the beating heart of Victoria, a dense urban precinct home to nearly 55,000 residents amid the towers, laneways, and cultural institutions that define the city. The Hoddle Grid offers world-class public transport with trains, trams, and buses connecting every corner of the metropolis. International students and young professionals dominate the demographics, with lower median incomes reflecting the student population rather than poverty.
Living in Melbourne's CBD means embracing urban intensity—rooftop bars, laneway cafes, world-class dining, and cultural venues at your doorstep. The Arts Precinct, sporting stadiums, and shopping on Bourke Street Mall provide endless entertainment. Apartment living dominates, attracting students, young professionals, and empty-nesters who crave the energy of city life. It's Australia's cultural capital, offering a lifestyle that trades space for access to everything.
Melbourne falls under postcode 3000 and is governed by Melbourne Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Prahran (Southern Metropolitan) electorate.
