Flemington runs from the Maribyrnong River to Moonee Ponds Creek and takes in Newmarket, with the racecourse and Showgrounds on its western side. Its housing is mostly Victorian and boom era weatherboard cottages and brick terraces, with some Edwardian homes and 1960s and 1970s walk-up flats around Wellington and Farnham Streets. Newmarket station on the Craigieburn line, Flemington Bridge on the Upfield line and trams 57 and 59 make it one of the best connected suburbs this close to the CBD.
The median house price sits around $1.2 million (REIV, March quarter 2026), with houses averaging 32.5 days on market. The Racecourse Road towers are part of the state government’s high-rise renewal program, which will reshape that end of the suburb over the coming decade. A Flemington buyers agent helps you weigh streetscape, transport and that long-term change, rather than buying on price alone.
Thirty minutes on your brief, your budget and the streets and property types that genuinely fit it. No obligation.
We inspect, shortlist and run the due diligence, including homes that sell quietly and never reach the portals.
We set the price strategy, negotiate or bid on your behalf, and manage the contract through to settlement.
Flemington’s value shifts sharply over a few hundred metres. Quiet terrace streets on higher ground behave very differently from homes facing Racecourse Road, Mt Alexander Road or CityLink, and from blocks close to the estate. Visit on a weekday evening and on a race day before you commit, because Cup week and Showgrounds events bring crowds and parking restrictions.
Many cottages are older weatherboards with original stumps, small lots and party walls on terraces, so a thorough building inspection is essential. Heritage overlays also apply across parts of the suburb. The opportunity lies in the long term: tower renewal, a new park at Holland Court and strong transport links point to a suburb still improving, which can reward buyers who choose the right street now.

Book a free strategy callThe biggest due diligence issue we see in Flemington is building condition. Much of the housing is Victorian and boom era stock, often weatherboard, with original stumps, older roofs and small rear additions of varying quality. Terraces share walls and sometimes drainage with neighbours. A cosmetic renovation can hide a lot, so we look past fresh paint. We also map each home against what surrounds it. Racecourse Road, Mt Alexander Road and CityLink carry heavy traffic, and the Moonee Ponds Creek flats sit lower than the hilly streets above. The tower renewal program will change the estate end of the suburb over years, which brings disruption first and benefits later. Buyers who understand that timeline can choose a street that suits how long they plan to stay.
Many of our purchases never reach the open market.
Flemington rewards buyers who know which streets carry a discount for good reason and which ones are simply underrated. Lou uses his selling and auctioneering background to price that difference and negotiate it. Alana looks at heritage controls, building condition on older weatherboards, and how nearby renewal projects and arterial roads might affect a home. Sharyn keeps a watch on cottages and terraces that sell before listing, which happens in tightly held streets near Newmarket. Our fee is fixed, and we work only for buyers, so we will tell you plainly when a cheaper home is cheap for a reason.
