Melbourne’s inner west is full of hidden gems = bars, restaurants, bookshops and, in this case, entire suburbs. Welcome to Kingsville, the notso-new kid on the western block. With the help of thriving suburbs like Seddon, Yarraville and Footscray, the West has undergone a massive transformation over the last few years. It has developed its own unique personality as well as a buzzing arts, cultural and culinary scene – thanks, in most part, to the diverse characters who live and work in the area. KingsVillage is the next step in this transformation.

Each of the 33 one and two-bedroom apartments will be simple and functional, focussing on large open-plan living, gorgeous finishes, clever design and stunning city views. Bold, angular compositions frame the entire building and incorporate large windows for plenty of light. While a mixture of timber, brick and concrete makes for natural, inviting textures on the outside. On the inside, cleverly arranged balconies take advantage of dramatic city views. And the street frontage will be brought to life by a brand-new cafe.

Large balconies have been thoughtfully integrated into the architecture to help you get the most out of the close proximity to the city. You can choose an apartment with either a city view or a north-facing view. Or, if you’re indecisive, you can always pick one with both.
