Overview

Travancore is a compact inner‑city suburb just 5 km north‑west of Melbourne’s Central Business District, nestled between the Tullamarine Freeway and Mount Alexander Road. With a 2021 census population of 2,116, the area blends heritage charm, Old English‑style homes and Indian‑themed streets such as Baroda and Lucknow, with modern high‑rise living, as new residential towers now occupy the former Lombard Paper Factory site on the suburb’s southern edge.

Transport is convenient, with several tram stops on Mount Alexander Road (including Mount Alexander College and Wellington St) and the historic Essendon tram depot nearby. Residents benefit from a range of services: the Royal Children’s Hospital Mental Health campus, Flemington Primary School’s historic gates, nearby schools, parks, a police station, and the iconic “Cheese Stick” sculpture along CityLink. This mix of heritage, green space and connectivity supports a vibrant, walkable lifestyle.
