Browse property in Penola Street

Penola Street runs through the flat heart of Preston, a suburb 9 km north‑east of Melbourne’s CBD. The streetscape mixes the suburb’s original low‑density homes with the medium‑ and high‑density apartments that have replaced former farmland and post‑war Housing Commission dwellings, creating a varied residential character along the thoroughfare.

Transport is a strong point: tram stops at Gower St/Plenty Rd, David St/Plenty Rd, Murray Rd/Plenty Rd and Bell St/Plenty Rd sit a short walk away, and the Bell and Preston stations on the Mernda line give easy train access. Sixteen bus routes criss‑cross the area, linking Penola Street to the CBD, Northland Shopping Centre and surrounding suburbs. Within minutes’ walk are local amenities such as Preston High School, Preston Market, the former Preston & Northcote Community Hospital, 3KND radio and a range of cafés and restaurants along High Street.
