South Yarra lies just 4 km south‑east of Melbourne’s CBD and is famed for its up‑market streetscape along Toorak Road and Chapel Street, where historic mansions sit beside richly‑decorated Victorian terrace houses and striking 1930s Art Deco apartments, creating one of the city’s most densely populated and architecturally diverse neighbourhoods. The suburb’s heritage‑registered buildings – from the former railway station to the grand bluestone terraces of Park and Leopold Streets – sit amid a lively mix of cafés, boutique shops and fresh‑produce markets.

Excellent transport links anchor the area: South Yarra railway station (a junction for the Pakenham, Cranbourne, Frankston and Sandringham lines) and nearby tram stops such as South Yarra Railway Station / Toorak Rd and Toorak Rd / Chapel St serve routes 58, 72 and 78, while major bus routes run along Commercial and Punt Roads. Residents and visitors also enjoy a range of amenities within walking distance, including the South Yarra Post Office, hotels like Oaks Melbourne South Yarra Suites and SoYa Apartment Hotel, and local cinemas such as Hoyts Regent and the former Longford Cinema.
