About Eaglemont
Eaglemont is a prestigious leafy residential suburb approximately 10 kilometres north-east of Melbourne's CBD in the City of Banyule local government area. With a population of 3,960 residents, the suburb is renowned for its cultural heritage — in the late 1880s, Heidelberg School artists including Arthur Streeton and Tom Roberts camped and painted on the Mount Eagle hillside, producing iconic works of Australian Impressionism. In 1915–16, architects Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin designed the suburb's estate using Garden Suburb principles of curved streets and native planting.
Eaglemont attracts established professionals and families drawn to its heritage architecture, generous blocks, and outlook over the Yarra River valley. The suburb is within walking distance of Ivanhoe's café and restaurant strip, riverside parklands, and several prestigious private schools. With 80% owner-occupancy, the neighbourhood has an exceptionally stable, community-focused character that reflects its century-long reputation as one of Melbourne's most desirable inner-northern addresses.
Eaglemont falls under postcode 3084 and is governed by Banyule Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Ivanhoe (North-Eastern Metropolitan) electorate.
