Hawthorn
Overview
Hawthorn is an inner-east suburb about 6km east of Melbourne's CBD, with Glenferrie Road, Burke Road and tree-lined residential streets. Frequent tram services and Swinburne University place shopping, education and public transport within easy reach.
Glenferrie Road puts cafés, dining and shops within walking distance of Victorian terraces, Edwardian bungalows and newer apartments, which tends to suit owner-occupiers, professionals and students drawn to Glenferrie's cafés, shops and tram access.
The current median house price sits around $2.55M, with annual movement that has softened compared with the prior year. Even so, comparable sales on the same street can sit well above or below that line depending on period detail, land and condition.
