Rooms for rent in Fitzroy
Fitzroy is Melbourne's oldest suburb and still its most argued-over. Brunswick Street and Gertrude Street between them cover vintage stores, galleries, institutions like Naked for Satan's rooftop and the Rose Street Artists' Market on weekends. The share houses are single-fronted terraces with tiny courtyards and big personalities — living rooms here have hosted band practice since the seventies. Rent reflects the postcode's fame, so rooms often go to people prioritising location over space: designers, hospitality lifers, arts workers. If your week involves an opening, a gig and a Sunday market shift, you'll never need to leave the suburb.
