What Windsor lacks in size, it more than makes up for in attitude. This buzzed-about neighbourhood manages that elusive quality – it possesses just the right amount of edge. From its famed café scene to sleek drinking and dining options, you certainly won’t succumb to boredom in this charming neighbourhood.
Lifestyle
Long seen as the scruffy neighbour of luxe South Yarra and stylish Prahran, living in Windsor has become a desirable choice over the last decade. Retaining its grungy chic feel and warm local community, what was once a hidden gem has now very much been thrust into the spotlight. The iconic Chapel Street is the beating heart of this tiny suburb. What is now considered to be the street’s ‘cooler’ end is the result of clever bar and restaurant owners capitalising on what was once significantly cheaper rent. Now, Windsor is home to a flourishing drinking and dining scene. Its much-loved heritage pubs keep the crowds coming back for more, while its restaurants and cafés see queues of hungry foodies lining up around the block.
