Flemington fits the bill if you're looking for somewhere to live that's not too far from the city whilst also being a peaceful, quiet option with character of its own. With great public transport options nearby, it is easy to get around. Home to a multitude of multicultural restaurants, options to try fabulous meals are abundant. Whilst many period homes retain their facade but hide recent renovations, many new, modern townhouses are beginning to spring up, as well as contemporary apartment buildings, akin to inner city living. Flemington provides excellent services within close proximity to supermarkets, transport options, as well as a variety of primary schools. Of course, Flemington Racecourse with it blossoming roses holds the Melbourne Cup every November, and is a globally renowned site for racing, fashion and events.
