With tree-lined streets, manicured gardens, architecturally designed homes and the Yarra River nearby, it’s no wonder so many people want to live there.
Toorak is a mere five kilometres from the CBD and the best the city has to offer, plus it has some of the best private schools in Melbourne, including Loreto Mandeville Hall.
While these features have always attracted buyers to the area, Toorak is transforming to offer a new type of lifestyle to residents. It’s quickly become a destination to shop, dine and meet-up in its own right. New restaurants, bars and cafes are injecting a contemporary lifestyle – offering new places to catch-up with friends, family and colleagues. With luxury apartments being built, like those at The Springfield, buyers looking to stay in the local area in a smaller, but still luxurious, home have some amazing new choices.
