Fareham, St Kilda: A Home at the Centre of Melbourne’s Most Vibrant Neighbourhoods
Melbourne is a city of neighbourhoods, each with its own distinct character, rhythm, and appeal. From the effortlessly cool bars of Windsor to the breezy charm of St Kilda, the heritage-lined streets of Albert Park, and the bustling café scene of South Melbourne, the city thrives on its diversity.
At Fareham, St Kilda, you’re positioned within easy reach of it all. Whether it’s a morning swim at St Kilda Beach, a coffee in South Melbourne, or an evening spent at a hidden wine bar in Windsor, this is a lifestyle defined by access, culture, and effortless connection.
A Location That Puts You in the Heart of It All
Just minutes from Fareham, Windsor has been named the 10th coolest neighbourhood in the world by Time Out in 2024, and for those familiar with its energy, that ranking comes as no surprise.
With Chapel Street at its core, Windsor is a study in contrasts—historic shopfronts house some of Melbourne’s most forward-thinking venues, from smoky Argentinian grill houses to Japanese-inspired wine bars. The Astor Theatre, a local institution, continues to serve up a carefully curated blend of arthouse and cult classics, while late-night dining and intimate cocktail spots keep the energy buzzing well into the early hours.

- Acland Street and Fitzroy Street continue to evolve, with a growing selection of bars, bakeries, and wine bars sitting alongside old favourites.
- The Palais Theatre, The Espy, and Luna Park ensure St Kilda remains one of Melbourne’s most recognisable cultural hubs.
Albert Park & South Melbourne: Inner-City Elegance Meets Local Energy
Neighbouring Albert Park and South Melbourne bring together heritage architecture, leafy streetscapes, and some of the city’s most loved dining spots.
