The small and funky suburb of Windsor is soaring in popularity. Starting to make a name for itself with the growing number of independent restaurants, bars, lounges and retailers, Windsor is home to creatives and young professionals who want to be close to almost everything that Melbourne has to offer.
Located just 5km southeast of Melbourne city, this inner city pocket has a local feel in its tiny grid of streets. As Stonnington’s smallest suburb, with a population of just over 7,000, there is a high rental demand for any property investors.
The residential streets are divided by Chapel Street, Dandenong Road, St Kilda Road and High Street. The diverse mix of housing, ranging from medium density apartments, Victorian terrace housing and semi detached cottages is perfect for a mixture of residents including elderly couples, downsizers, independent youths, established professionals and families.
The streets are clean and beautifully maintained making Windsor a suitable area to live in and even raise a family. It appeals to all ages with its small townhomes for older couples and apartments for young professionals - both coupled and single. Students are close to Swinburne University down the road and of course the small walking distance to an abundance of popular restaurants, cafes, pubs and retailers.
On the more bohemian end of Chapel Street, the laid back nature of Windsor makes it even more attractive. With more eateries here than on the northern end of Chapel Street, the proliferation of trendy cafes and coffee cultures is never ending along the Windsor end of Chapel Street. Even though Windsor is in the inner city area; close to all the action and Melbourne spirit, the streets of this retro, vintage style suburb are indeed quiet and safe.
There is easy access into the city or the outer eastern and southern suburbs, simply jump on a tram on Dandenong Road, High Street, Chapel Street, or the train from Windsor Station on the Sandringham Railway Line.
If you’re into exercise, Windsor is designed for you. Within walking distance, sign up to one of many yoga studios; Hot Box Yoga, Humming Puppy or Body Flow Yoga, which offer a range of different classes for any level.
