Browse property in Sussex Street

Sussex Street threads through Preston, a flat‑terrain suburb 9 km north‑east of Melbourne’s CBD that has evolved from low‑density historic homes to a growing mix of medium‑ and high‑density dwellings, reflecting the area’s shift from early farmland to intensive residential redevelopment. The street’s name echoes the 1850 settlement history when Edward Wood, a Sussex‑born storekeeper, helped rename the district after his English home.

The location enjoys excellent public‑transport links, sitting within 0.5 km of multiple tram stops on Plenty Road (Gower St, David St, Murray Rd, Bell St) and close to the Bell and Preston train stations on the Mernda line, while a network of sixteen bus routes serves the wider neighbourhood. Nearby amenities include Preston High School, Preston Market, the 3KND Indigenous radio station and a lively selection of cafés and restaurants that line the surrounding streets.
