Brunswick = Street Arts
Brunswick has a strong cultural identity shaped by industry, migration, and creativity. Once known for manufacturing and working-class housing, the suburb evolved into one of Melbourne’s most vibrant inner-north communities. Today Brunswick is famous for Sydney Road, its live music venues, and its street art and murals that bring colour and personality to laneways and local pockets. Many homeowners now renovate and extend older homes to improve layout, comfort, and energy efficiency—while still keeping the character that makes Brunswick unique.
