Kew real estate

Kew is one of Melbourne’s most affluent suburbs with a plethora of Victorian and Art Deco mansions on large tracts of land graced by stunning gardens set back from wide, leafy boulevards.

There is also abundant parkland in the suburb including Yarra Bend and Studley parks.

Public transport is plentiful with tram lines running all the way to the city and the freeway is the way to drive to the CBD and the airport.

The famous Kew Junction is a very popular venue for shopping, recreation and entertainment – with all these lifestyle features it is no wonder the price of a home in Kew is more than twice the metropolitan Melbourne average.

Some allotments have been redeveloped into townhouses or duplexes which appeal to a newer demographic (primarily dual-income parents with one or more children), keen to be close not only to the Melbourne CBD but also the excellent schooling facilities available nearby.

Streets within the Sackville Ward (bounded by Barkers, Burke, Cotham and Glenferrie Roads) such as Alfred, Rowland, Wellington, Grange and Sackville have some exceptional examples of Edwardian, Victorian and contemporary architecture.

There has also been a recent trend towards the development of larger retirement-living complexes aimed principally at downsizing couples wishing to remain in the area.

Sport and leisure loom large in this suburb, you’ll find volleyball, tennis, footsal, lawn bowls, golf, football and cricket plus water sports on the Yarra and ‘Fun Fit’ junior fitness.

It’s a lifestyle thing, residential, education, sport, entertainment and recreation with the best part of the Yarra River flowing through parkland to separate you from the city only 5 km away – no more than a fun run!
