Overview

Nestled just 3 km north‑east of Melbourne’s CBD, Collingwood is a vibrant inner‑city suburb of 9,179 residents (2021 census) within the City of Yarra. Its historic streetscapes, nineteenth‑century dwellings, factories and heritage pubs, blend seamlessly with a thriving creative scene anchored by the Collingwood Yards arts precinct, Circus Oz and the iconic Tote Hotel. Smith Street, voted the world’s coolest street in 2021, pulses with night‑life, boutique retail and a celebrated gay‑village vibe, offering cafés, bars and community radio hubs such as 3CR.

Well‑connected by narrow one‑way streets, Collingwood is bounded by Smith Street, Victoria Parade, Hoddle Street and Alexandra Parade, with tram routes 109, 12 and 86 skirting its edges and nearby Victoria Park and Collingwood railway stations serving the suburb. Recent cycling lanes on Wellington Street and a 30 km/h speed limit enhance pedestrian safety. Housing ranges from high‑rise council flats and modest workers’ cottages to converted warehouse apartments, modern townhouses and medium‑density units, preserving the area’s eclectic character while meeting contemporary demand.
