Overview

Preston, just 9 km north‑east of Melbourne’s CBD, is home to 33,790 residents (2021 census). The suburb blends leafy, low‑density streets with a growing stock of medium‑ to high‑rise apartments, reflecting its flat terrain and proximity to the city. A vibrant arts and DIY scene thrives along High Street’s cafés and restaurants, while regular festivals, community radio 3KND and venues such as the Gowerville Theatre add cultural flair. Families benefit from a range of schools, including Bell Primary, Newlands Spanish‑bilingual primary and Preston High School, plus the Northland Shopping Centre, a community hospital and numerous parks and sporting grounds that host football, cricket and soccer clubs.

Transport is a strong point: Preston is served by Bell and Preston stations on the Mernda rail line, two tram routes linking West Preston and Bundoora to the Docklands, and an extensive bus network of sixteen routes plus the SmartBus 903. This mix of rail, tram and bus links makes commuting to the CBD and surrounding suburbs convenient, supporting a lively, well‑connected lifestyle.
