About Northcote

Northcote is an inner suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 7km north-east of Melbourne's Central Business District. It is part of the local government area of the City of Darebin.

Melbourne’s northern suburbs were ranked the top areas for work, rest and play, according to a landmark PwC Australia City Pulse 2021 study. Of the 295 city suburbs researched, Northcote led the way with a perfect score of 10.

Over the years Northcote has become a rather hip area with the requisite cafes, bars and boutiques, and to the fortunes of planning that afforded Rucker's Hill its unparalleled city views.

Whether you're cruising the Westgarth strip, heading up Ruckers Hill to High Street, or occupying a patch of St Georges Road, you'll notice a decidedly arty vibe around Northcote. Check out the latest exhibitions, catch a flick at Westgarth Cinema, or enjoy an entertaining night of high-profile or emerging bands at the Northcote Social Club and anything-goes acts at Open Studio and 303.
