Browse property in Elgin Street

Elgin Street lies in Carlton, an inner‑city suburb three kilometres north of Melbourne’s CBD, and is framed by the area’s medium‑to‑high‑density housing of Victorian‑era terraces, semi‑detached homes and modern apartment towers that serve a large student population. The street is set against a backdrop of historic garden squares such as the 26‑hectare Carlton Gardens and is a short walk from the Little Italy precinct on Lygon Street, where numerous Italian restaurants, cafés, Cinema Nova and La Mama Theatre add cultural amenities, while nearby hotels like the Best Western Plus Travel Inn and Clocktower Apartment Hotel provide accommodation.

Public transport runs along Elgin Street with bus services linking the area to the wider city, complemented by the extensive tram network on adjacent Swanston and Lygon Streets (routes 1, 6 and others) that terminate at Melbourne University. Pedestrians also benefit from close proximity to schools such as Carlton Gardens Primary School and to the University of Melbourne facilities, making Elgin Street well‑connected for students, residents and visitors alike.
