The homes are beautiful – more often than not they are examples of Victorian, Edwardian and Federation architecture at their finest.
Armstrong Street is home to a small yet inviting shopping strip (known fondly by locals as Middle Park Village) with a collection of cheerful cafés, a much-loved gift shop and a few stylish boutiques.
Despite being just five kilometres from the city, Middle Park’s lush, green streets feel safe and peaceful, making it the perfect spot for young families. The popular neighbourhood primary school, playgrounds and bustling beachfront only add to this easy charm, while the pervading sense of warmth and strong community spirit see dog-toting neighbours chatting over newspapers and lattes.
And while family-friendly Middle Park tends to go to bed rather early, those in search of a party need only look to neighbouring St Kilda and its pumping nightlife or to Albert Park with its host of dining options. Whether it’s evening strolls along palm tree-lined Beaconsfield Parade or leisurely brunch on Armstrong Street there’s a reason postcode proud locals stay loyal to Middle Park.
