PropertyEye tracks live listings in Sydney and Brisbane today — Melbourne pages are built from published auction results (2021–2026), our price model and weekly clearance data. Live Melbourne tracking is on the roadmap.

Modelled from 169,861 Australian auction sales (2021–2026). Melbourne cells run on the base model (suburb prior + configuration + time) without the Sydney-only land/school/transport features — ranges are honest about the wider uncertainty. Estimates from comparable auction results — not valuations or financial advice.

Crime — recorded criminal incidents, year ending March 2026
Index 100 — well above the Greater Melbourne average (50 = average) · 112.3 key incidents per 1,000 residents · year-on-year -10%
Most recorded: Steal from a motor vehicle (203) · Other theft (160) · Residential non-aggravated burglary (79)
Key offences: homicide, assault, sexual offences, robbery, property damage, burglary/break-and-enter, theft (CSA subdivisions A10/A20/A30/A70/B20/B30/B40).

Schools whose ADDRESS is in West Melbourne — residents are often zoned to schools in neighbouring suburbs too; check the actual zone for any address at findmyschool.vic.gov.au. ICSEA is the socio-educational advantage of a school's community (national average ~1000) — a demographic measure, not a quality or results score.
Getting to the CBD — peak, from the suburb centre
About ~32 min door-to-CBD: 17 min walk to South Kensington (train) + ~5 min typical peak wait + 10 min scheduled ride.
PTV GTFS (metropolitan train + tram) (open data) — scheduled weekday services, rail family only (buses excluded); walk = suburb centre to nearest station, crow-flies ×1.3 at 80 m/min; wait = half AM-peak headway capped at 6 min; ride = median scheduled time to the CBD hub. Estimates for the suburb CENTRE — your block differs.

Domain archive (monthly) 2016-05-23 → 2026-06-12 · 43 monthly points
43 monthly points from archived Domain search pages, 2016-05-23 → 2026-06-12 (Domain-only — systematically lower than the total market; archive coverage has gaps and they stay visible as gaps). Historical record, not a live count — live Melbourne tracking is on the roadmap.
