Why Melbourne?
Migration is a key driver — both international migrants and Australians relocating for job opportunities and lifestyle reasons. Melbourne has long attracted skilled workers, students, and families looking for strong employment, education, and lifestyle prospects.
Economically, Melbourne is highly diverse. It has strong finance, education, healthcare, tech, and professional service sectors — all of which contribute to a stable and resilient local economy. Infrastructure spending in Melbourne remains high, with billions being poured into transport projects like the Metro Tunnel, Suburban Rail Loop, and the North East Link. These are long-term, city-shaping projects that improve connectivity and support sustained capital growth.
Lifestyle is another major draw. Melbourne is consistently ranked one of the world’s most livable cities and is legendary for its café culture. It’s a hub for arts, food, sport, and education — with access to world-class universities, major hospitals, international events, and the Mornington Peninsula and regional Victoria within easy reach
Melbourne is also home to some of the most established and tightly held residential suburbs in the country. Melbourne has over 600 suburbs and is a very diverse market. So while I like Melbourne overall, you aren’t buying Melbourne, you need to be very strategic where you invest.
