Overview

Parkville is an inner‑city suburb just 3 km north of Melbourne’s CBD, home to 7,074 residents according to the 2021 census. The area blends leafy, tree‑lined streets and Victorian‑era terrace houses with a prestigious housing market driven by its proximity to Royal Park, the city’s largest inner‑city park, its zoo, and a concentration of world‑class medical and research facilities such as the Royal Melbourne Hospital, Royal Children’s Hospital and the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre. Education is a hallmark of the suburb, hosting the University of Melbourne, Monash University’s Pharmacy faculty and several residential colleges, while the historic Parkville South conservation area preserves much of the original housing fabric.

Transport in Parkville is exceptionally well‑served. The Upfield railway line stops at Royal Park station, and an extensive tram network (twelve routes, including the major Melbourne University terminus) criss‑crosses the suburb. Seven bus routes link the campus, hospitals and parkland, while Elizabeth Street/Royal Parade provides a main arterial road into the city. Planned extensions of the Melbourne Metro Rail tunnel will add an underground Parkville station, further enhancing connectivity for residents and visitors alike.
