By Michael Tomadakis, Collings Real Estate
Having spent over a decade working across Northcote, Thornbury, Preston and Reservoir, I’ve grown to love Melbourne’s Inner North. Here’s why this area stands out to me—and what I think makes it unique for buyers and sellers.
Community and lifestyle
- Vibrant cafes and restaurants—especially around High Street and Westgarth
- Diverse mix of people, from first-home buyers to growing families and downsizers
- Strong sense of community; local events, markets, and friendly neighbourhoods
Position, value and amenity
- Easy access to the CBD—convenience for city workers
- Cafes, shops, public transport, and schools within walking distance
- Comparative value: more for your money than some inner-East or city-fringe suburbs
Whether you’re buying, selling or just want expert local advice, I’m always happy to share my insights or help you understand the market.
