About Essendon
Essendon is an established suburb about 9 km north west of Melbourne CBD, postcode 3040. Mount Alexander Road is the main commercial strip, with restaurants, coffee shops, a supermarket, and medical services that have served the local community for many years. Moonee Valley Racecourse sits within the southern part of the suburb and is one of two city racecourses in Melbourne, hosting thoroughbred meetings through the year. The suburb has a varied housing mix of period homes, low rise flats, and newer townhouses. Several well known schools are located in and around the suburb, including Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School on Aberfeldie Road. Essendon Station is on the Broadmeadows and Upfield lines, with trains reaching the CBD in around 20 minutes. Trams run along Mount Alexander Road into the city and connect to the inner network. CityLink and the Tullamarine Freeway provide fast road access from Essendon to Melbourne Airport, with the drive typically taking around 20 minutes outside peak hour. Taxis from Essendon are frequently needed for airport departures, racecourse events at Moonee Valley, and evening travel when trains drop to a 20 to 30 minute frequency.
