Browse property in Somerset Street

Somerset Street winds through the curvilinear, topography‑following layout envisioned by Walter Burley Griffin, set on the plateau that offers views over Melbourne. The street is lined with a mix of post‑1960s single‑storey homes and newer medium‑density blocks approved in 2015, reflecting the suburb’s shift from market gardens to planned residential neighbourhoods with internal gardens and playgrounds.

Residents benefit from frequent bus services (406, 407, 465, 903) and easy access to the Maribyrnong River Trail for cyclists and walkers, while the closest tram (route 57) terminates in neighbouring Maribyrnong. Within walking distance are the Canning Street shopping precinct, Avondale Primary School, the local police station and post office, and the riverfront Tea Gardens Reserve that serves as a recreational hub.
