Hawthorn real estate
Hawthorn is only 6 km from Melbourne's central business district with the main thoroughfare being the vibrant Glenferrie Road.
This retail precinct is one of the 82 Major Activity Centres in the Melbourne 2030 Metropolitan Strategy – and is filled with numerous boutiques, speciality stores, fresh fruit, two supermarkets and banks.
Other shopping centres can be found in Burwood Road, Power Street, Church Street, Riversdale and Auburn Roads. The suburb is also known for its restaurants.
Situated on the south east corner of The Yarra River, it was given the name Hawthorn (in 1840 ‘Hawthorne’) because Charles La Trobe is said to have commented that the native shrubs looked like flowering Hawthorn bushes!
Here you will find the home of the Hawthorn Football Club plus Swinburne University and a number of private schools such as Erasmus School, St. Josephs Primary and Scotch College, the latter being one of the oldest and most prestigious schools in the state.
There are also good state schools: Glenferrie Primary and Hawthorn West Primary and nearby are Hawthorn Secondary College, Auburn and Auburn South primary schools.
There are abundant public recreation areas, parks, barbecue areas, infant welfare centres and youth clubs, three train stations - and trams run the entire length of the suburb to the city.
It’s a vibrant happening suburb for the young – and areas with large homes for the young at heart.
