Share houses in Melbourne's Inner North

The inner north is Melbourne's share-housing heartland — a band of terrace and weatherboard suburbs from Carlton's university edge to Thornbury's deep backyards, stitched together by the 86 and 11 trams, the Upfield bike path and the Merri Creek trail. Each suburb has its own temperament; the pages below carry a local read on every one, plus whatever is live on Rumy right now.
