Kensington
Kensington 
Victorian architecture, a village feel and good cafes. 

Kensington 3031

Kensington is one of the best places to live in Melbourne. There is a good community and village feel here, and great cafes  and barsthat come without the attitude you’d find in other inner city suburbs. Once a working class suburb that was all but ignored, Kensington has well and truly become one of the “in”  and good suburbs. And it's only 3 train stops from the city centre.
