Gardens are perfectly manicured, café culture reigns supreme, and a pet dog is essential. Nowhere is this more evident than in firm local favourite Central Park, where you’ll find everyone from fitness addicts to latte sippers, weekend cricket clubs and playgroups all enjoying their spot on the grass.
Buzzing Glenferrie Road is the place to be when it comes to shopping, dining and mingling, whether it’s indulging in sugary treats from one of the area’s many patisseries or browsing for the latest in chic homewares. Meanwhile, a growing number of wine bars and fine dining options make evenings in Malvern and Malvern East an increasingly sophisticated affair.
In these busy yet homely neighbourhoods, postcode-proud locals have everything they could ever need.
