About Newport
Newport is one of Melbourne's trendiest inner west suburbs, a community of nearly 14,000 residents experiencing significant gentrification. Located 9 kilometres southwest of the CBD in Hobsons Bay, it benefits from excellent Werribee line rail access. The industrial heritage is transforming into cafes, breweries, and creative spaces.
The suburb has evolved from working-class industrial origins into a young professional favourite—excellent dining, boutique retail, and community feel create genuine appeal. Property prices reflect the transformation. Newport attracts young professionals, creative types, and families seeking inner west lifestyle with character.
