Known for its grand Victorian and Edwardian homes, tree-lined streets, and the sprawling Studley Park and Yarra River trails, it's a haven for nature lovers and history buffs alike. The Kew Asylum (now a housing estate) and the iconic Sacred Heart Church add architectural interest. The local retail hub, Kew Junction, buzzes with cafés, boutiques, and farmers' markets. Visitors can stroll through the Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens (nearby), explore the Yarra Bend Park, or cycle along the Main Yarra Trail.
