Preston is located about 9 km north‑east of Melbourne’s CBD, so the home is roughly that distance from the city centre.

Multiple tram stops are within 0.5–0.8 km, including Murray Rd/Plenty Rd and Gower St/Plenty Rd. The suburb is also served by Bell and Preston railway stations on the Mernda line and numerous bus routes such as 251, 382 and 517.

Within about a kilometre you’ll find the former Preston & Northcote Community Hospital, the Northern College of the Arts and Technology, and T W Blake Park. The Northland Twin Village Drive‑In and Mantra Bell City hotel are also nearby.

Preston was first surveyed in 1837 and originally called Irishtown after its first permanent resident, Samuel Jeffrey. The name changed to Preston in the 1850s, and the area grew from a farming community to a residential suburb with rail links arriving in 1889.

At the 2021 census Preston had 33,790 residents. About 64 % were born in Australia, with notable communities from China, Italy, Greece, India and Vietnam, and over 30 % speak a language other than English at home.
