Rooms for rent in Brunswick East

Brunswick East is where the Lygon Street tram tracks end and the Merri Creek begins. CERES — the community environment park on the creek's bank — sets the tone: compost-literate, bike-everywhere, garden out the back. The northern stretch of Lygon Street has quietly become one of Melbourne's best eating strips, all wine bars and bakeries, without the Fitzroy crowds. Share houses split between renovated cottages near the creek trail and newer apartments along Nicholson Street. It suits people who want Brunswick's energy two streets away but a quiet street to sleep on. Creek swims not advised; creek runs, mandatory.
