Browse property in Barkly Street

Barkly Street forms part of St Kilda’s lower‑density precinct that stretches between Barkly and Hotham Streets, where Victorian terraces sit alongside interwar and post‑war apartment blocks, giving the streetscape an eclectic mix of historic mansions, such as the nearby Eildon Mansion, and more modest dwellings. The corner of Barkly and Carlisle is dominated by the National Theatre – a Beaux‑Arts performing‑arts venue built in 1920 and still a cultural landmark. Mature palms and heritage façades line the street, adding a leafy, seaside character.

The street enjoys strong transport links, with tram routes 12, 16 and 96 running along nearby St Kilda Road and the Argyle St/St Kilda Rd tram stop just 0.2 km away, while the historic electric line once ran directly down Barkly Street. A short walk brings you to St Kilda Pier’s ferry services and the off‑road Bayside Trail for cyclists. Amenities include backpacker hostels such as Barkly Backpackers and Summer House, the heritage‑listed Sacred Heart Church, and nearby cafés and hotels on Grey and Carlisle Streets.
