Melbourne City Suburbs - East Melbourne
East Melbourne is an established, affluent area with gracious,
19th century homes, several of Melbourne’s most iconic landmarks
and some of its most beautiful parks. The historic Fitzroy,
Treasury and Parliament Gardens separate East Melbourne from the
Central City.
Here you’ll find Melbourne’s grand Parliament House, the
impressive Treasury Building, St Patrick’s Catholic Cathedral
and the world-famous Melbourne Cricket Ground (a hallowed sports
ground for the city’s football and cricket lovers). Many other
State Government facilities and institutions are also located in
this area.
East Melbourne is predominantly a residential area, of mostly
comprised of flats and units, but is also home to a number of
hospitals and medical clinics providing metropolitan and
state-wide specialist health services such as the Freemasons
Hospital, and the Eye and Ear Hospital. Jolimont, a locality
within the suburb, has a mix of office, commercial,
institutional and residential uses adjacent to Yarra Park.
Residents have a generally older profile than the rest of the
city and more likely to be from an English speaking background.
