About Hadfield
Hadfield is an often-overlooked gem in Melbourne's northern suburbs, located just 12 kilometres from the CBD within the City of Moreland. Bounded by Sydney Road to the east and nestled between Fawkner and Glenroy, this compact suburb of around 6,300 residents offers surprising affordability given its inner-city proximity. The multicultural community reflects Melbourne's diverse character with a rich mix of backgrounds and cultures.
The suburb benefits from its position along the Sydney Road dining and shopping strip, providing excellent access to cafes, restaurants, specialty grocers, and everyday services. Public transport is well-served with tram and bus connections making city commutes straightforward. First-home buyers and young professionals are increasingly discovering Hadfield as a hidden opportunity—enjoying urban convenience and cultural vibrancy while property prices remain more accessible than neighbouring Coburg and Brunswick.
Hadfield falls under postcode 3046 and is governed by Moreland Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Broadmeadows (Northern Metropolitan) electorate.
