Overview

Essendon lies just 8 km north‑west of Melbourne’s CBD within the City of Moonee Valley and recorded 21,240 residents at the 2021 Census. The suburb blends historic charm, highlighted by the heritage‑listed Avenue of Palms on Mount Alexander Road and the former Earlsbrae Hall now Lowther Hall Grammar, with contemporary family life, offered by a range of state and private schools such as Essendon Primary, Buckley Park College and St Columba’s College. Sporting culture is strong, anchored by the Essendon Football Club at Windy Hill, while Woodlands Park, the Maribyrnong River Trail and the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail provide ample recreation for walkers and cyclists.

Excellent public transport links include the number 59 tram along Mount Alexander and Keilor Roads, three Craigieburn railway stations (Essendon, Glenbervie and Strathmore) and regular bus services from Essendon station. The median weekly household income of $2,132 reflects a mixed housing market that accommodates both established homes and newer developments, making the suburb appealing to professionals and families alike.
