Browse property in Swanston Street

Swanston Street forms the spine of Carlton’s inner‑city streetscape, where medium‑to‑high‑density apartment towers, typically ten to eleven storeys tall, dominate after a late‑1990s student housing boom transformed the formerly low‑rise skyline. The street is anchored by Lincoln Square, a Victorian‑era garden square that contains the Bali Memorial and supplies a pocket of greenery amid the dense development.

Tram routes 1 and 6 run the length of Swanston and terminate at Melbourne University, buses connect via nearby Lygon, Elgin and Rathdowne streets, and the adjacent Little Italy precinct on Lygon Street offers Italian restaurants, cafés, La Mama Theatre and Cinema Nova for dining and culture.
