Nestled between the ocean and the city is one of Melbourne’s best kept secrets: a vibrant little gem called Elwood. Just 8kms from Melbourne CBD, this beachside suburb is the perfect blend between hip-happening hustle and bustle and suburban family charm.
Here are our top 5 reasons to relocate to Elwood… and why StayCentral offers you a ‘try-before-you-buy’ experience with our stunning Elwood serviced apartments.
- Ocean tranquillity meets inner city convenience
Elwood is home to some of Melbourne’s best beaches. With golden sands and clear blue waters, the whole suburb is filled with salty sea air, reminding you of how close the beach is. Not only is the beach within a 5 minute walk, but the CBD is just 20 minutes’ drive away, and only 14 minutes from the nearest train station.
- Bar and café culture going strong
While not as busy as neighbouring St Kilda, Elwood has its own thing going on in terms of food and drink. The Ormond Road precinct is a tight-knit collection of bars, cafes and restaurants, giving you plenty of options for winding down with a drink or enjoying a nice meal. Try the ever-vibrant Brooklyn Cocktail Bar for exquisite drinks or the local favourite Bubba Pizza Bar for dinner.
- Amenities at your doorstep
But Elwood isn’t just a place for being entertained – it’s also a very liveable neck of the woods, with key amenities right on your doorstep. There are supermarkets, pharmacies, a post office, and bottle shops all within walking distance in Elwood.
- Excellent public transport connections
Not much of a driver? In Elwood, that doesn’t matter much. Your options for public transport are superb, with a nearby tramline as well as a train line. From the nearby Ripponlea station it takes just 14 minutes to get to Melbourne CBD, with the tram offering convenient transport to nearby suburbs St Kilda and Caulfield.
- Family friendly yet vibrant
Elwood has loads of great qualities as a suburb for families. Excellent public and private schools nearby, parks and gardens, footy ovals… even a skate park! But Elwood isn’t your typical family friendly suburb, as there’s still lots to do for adults, including shopping boutiques, cafes and bars.
