Brunswick is Melbourne’s most culturally dense suburb and one of its strongest long-term investment performers. The Sydney Road and Lygon Street corridors, proximity to the CBD and University of Melbourne, and a constant supply of student and professional renters make Brunswick a near-permanent landlord’s market.
