Why renters choose South Yarra

Ten minutes to Flinders Street

South Yarra station sits on three major lines, the Cranbourne, Pakenham and Frankston, which makes it one of the best connected suburbs in Melbourne. Add the 8 along Toorak Road, the 72 along Commercial Road and the 78 down Chapel Street and you rarely wait long for anything.

Chapel Street at its most refined

The northern end of Chapel Street is the designer stretch, and the Como Centre on the Toorak Road corner has thirty-plus stores and a Palace cinema. Toorak Road adds village shops and boutiques. There are gyms up and down Chapel Street, which matters more than people admit when they are new in town.

Parks and the river on the doorstep

Fawkner Park is large, well kept and has tennis courts. Como Park runs down to the Yarra, and the river trail is one of the better cycling and running routes in the inner city. Como House, a National Trust heritage home, sits above the park.

What a furnished rental in South Yarra looks like

South Yarra furnished rentals are predominantly one and two bedroom apartments in mid and high rise buildings, many with building amenity such as a gym, pool or concierge. There is also a steady supply of furnished period apartments in the streets off Toorak Road and Domain Road. Corporate and relocation tenants make up a large share of this market, so turnover is quicker and stock moves fast.
