Coxy visits Seddon Village in 2011
Tucked away between its well-known neighbours Footscray and Yarraville, Seddon Village is a destination in its own right. Just seven kilometres from the CBD is a hub for locals and strangers alike.
With a huge array of restaurants, cafes, bars, beauty services, vintage and speciality stores, and more - there’s something here for everyone.
The locals love the community feel and the warm nature of the village - everyone you walk past is a friendly face to meet (including our many furry friends!).
But don’t just take our word for it; we asked some familiar local faces just what they love about Seddon and what makes our village unique, and their answers are below…
“I like the way Seddon forms a bridge between working class Footscray and hip Yarraville. In my opinion, it embodies the best of both worlds”
— Jo, Once More With Feeling
“You feel the closeness of the neighbourhood in Seddon. It feels like a small town rather than a suburb so close to the city”
— Jess, Love Luvo
