fitzroy north Suburb Profile & Review

Whether it's Brunswick Street or Smith Street, the live pub scene or the shopping venues, Fitzroy North residents have their finger on the pulse of inner city Melbourne. Fitzroy North has a diverse population and its terrace houses stand side by side with high-rise apartment buildings and public housing estates.

Mitte, a cafe on Michael Street, is home to some of the best brunches in Melbourne. And don't forget trendy and popular Moroccan Soup Bar on St Georges Road, or the decadent Age Good Food Guide favourite Matteo's.

Edinburgh Gardens is a tranquil retreat away from the hustle and bustle of inner city living. St Vincent's Hospital can be found on Victoria Parade, while Fitzroy Primary School and Sacred Heart Primary School both cater to younger children in the area. Rushall Station provides train services to the city on the South Morang line. Three tram routes travel through Fitzroy on their way from outer northern suburbs into the city; route numbers 86, 96 and 112. The popularity of cycling in the area is evident in a bike share station located near the St Vincent's Plaza tram interchange.

fitzroy north Income & Mortgage Stats

To calculate the percentage of income paid towards a mortgage for the suburb of Melbourne, multiply the mortgage payment (e.g. $2450) by 12 then divide this figure by the weekly income (e.g. $1200) multiplied by 52 (weeks) to look like this ($2450 x12/$1200 x 52) x 100 = 47%

Any figure above 30% usually indicates that the suburb you intend to buy in may have property owners with a high incidence of mortgage stress. In terms of maintaining or growing property values in the future and trying to secure a strong property price when selling, this could have an impact, especially in an economic or local industry downturn.
