Live like a Local

Tucked away in Melbourne’s inner east, Glen Iris offers a village-like atmosphere conveniently close to the city. Abundant with plantlife, it’s hard to miss this suburb’s connection with the natural world. Sprawling over undulating hills, there’s pretty parks, leafy cycling routes and walking trails, all canopied by established trees. Attracting families and professionals young and old, you’ll find a diverse community looking for a slower pace of life with the space and cafe culture to enjoy it. Spend your weekends at the local swimming pool – topped off by a delicious meal at one of the many quirky eateries – or pack a picnic and head to gorgeous Gardiners Creek. Well-connected by train, roads and bicycle paths, you’re never too far away from the city if you need it – but you’ll probably find you never want to leave.
