AREA Profile
Northcote
The inner-northern suburb of Northcote is located seven kilometres from Melbourne's CBD, in the local government area of the City of Darebin. It's the suburb's proximity to the CBD and access to the abundant retail and gastronomic delights of High Street that make Northcote so desirable.
Recognised for the breadth of its alternative and multicultural lifestyle, Northcote offers a different culture totis inner suburban rivals. It has been identified as a major activity centre with potential to expand, and plans have been put in motion to allow for further development of the area.
The influx of trendy cafes and historical working-class establishments have led to Northcote solidifying a name for itself as an intriguingly eclectic suburban location. With generous parklands, such as Johnson Park, and access to any number of shopping opportunities, Northcote is ideal for people seeking a bit of balance in their life.
