Fairfield
Multi-cultural, friendly, with a broad variety of housing and a great mix of community meeting-places and sporting clubs, Fairfield – a predominantly residential suburb – lies 6 km north-east of the CBD and is well serviced by trains and buses.
Thriving Station Street, the main shopping strip, includes cafes, bars, specialist shops and community amenities. Renowned Fairfield Park and the Boathouse on the Yarra is the place to relax, enjoy the outdoors, have lunch at the boathouse restaurant, rent a rowboat, play with the kids, walk, bike ride or explore this go-ahead suburb which has many older homes that are renovated or ready for renovation, as well as multi-unit developments and townhouses.
