Overview

Flemington is an inner‑city suburb 4 km north‑west of Melbourne’s CBD, nestled between the Maribyrnong River and Moonee Ponds Creek. The bustling Racecourse Road commercial strip, complemented by a newer plaza and cafés on Pin Oak Crescent, serves residents alongside three kindergartens, three primary schools, a secondary college and a special‑needs school. Twelve parks and the iconic Flemington Racecourse, home of the Melbourne Cup since 1861, provide ample recreation. Housing ranges from Victorian and Edwardian weatherboard cottages and terrace houses to semi‑detached homes and a public‑housing estate that accounts for 24 % of dwellings, including four 20‑storey towers.
