The near term pipeline is small and concentrated. Approved plans at 10 Wellington Parade and 122-130 Wellington Parade point to roughly 33 further residences towards the end of the decade, while 83-91 Albert Street adds a Carr designed brick building on the northern edge. Heritage controls across the grid mean East Melbourne is unlikely to see tower scale supply, which is part of the appeal for buyers who want scarcity.
Robert Hoddle named East Melbourne in 1837 and the first residents arrived from 1840, among them Charles La Trobe, superintendent of the Port Phillip District. Gold rush money built the bluestone and boom style streets that survive today, from Bishopscourt of 1853 to Tasma Terrace of 1878 and Queen Bess Row of 1887. Churches, schools and hospitals followed, and the grid was largely set before the twentieth century began.
East Melbourne sits about 2 kilometres east of the Melbourne CBD inside the City of Melbourne, bounded by Spring Street to the west, Victoria Parade to the north, Hoddle Street and Punt Road to the east and Brunton Avenue to the south.
At the 2021 Census the suburb recorded 4,896 residents with a median age of 42 years, well above the Victorian and national median of 38, and a median weekly household income of $2,345 against $1,759 for Victoria.
Apartment living is the norm rather than the exception here, with 73.5 per cent of occupied private dwellings recorded as a flat or apartment at the 2021 Census and only 3.2 per cent separate houses, while 52.8 per cent of households rented and 26.9 per cent owned outright.
Renting dominates. At the 2021 Census 52.8 per cent of East Melbourne households rented, and Domain reports one bedroom apartments around $475 per week and two bedrooms in the $640 to $650 range. Tenants are drawn from the hospitals on Victoria Parade, the legal and government offices on Spring Street and students at nearby campuses, which keeps vacancy tight.
Short stay demand is genuine here. The MCG, Rod Laver Arena and AAMI Park bring event crowds, while Epworth Freemasons, the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital and the Albert Street consulting suites bring patients and visiting families. Owners should check the City of Melbourne short stay rules and their owners corporation before assuming a property can be let nightly.
Parks on three sides, a cathedral at one end and a stadium at the other, with the CBD grid close enough to walk to for work or dinner.
