About Northcote
Northcote is the cultural engine of Melbourne's inner north, a creative suburb of 25,300 in Darebin, just 6 kilometres from the CBD. The South Morang line serves Northcote and Croxton stations, while High Street provides one of Melbourne's most distinctive retail and entertainment strips. Victorian and Edwardian homes line leafy streets, increasingly housing young professionals alongside longtime residents.
High Street Northcote pulses with independent bars, live music venues, vintage stores, and restaurants representing Melbourne's creative culture. The Northcote Social Club is legendary, the art scene thrives, and the community maintains a distinctly left-leaning, artistic character. Northcote attracts creatives, young professionals, and families who want inner-city culture, walkable living, and genuine neighbourhood character without the sterility of newer development.
Northcote falls under postcode 3070 and is governed by Darebin Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Northcote (Northern Metropolitan) electorate.
