Location

Right where uni life meets real life.

Living at Indi Footscray puts you right in the middle of everything. Victoria University's Footscray Park and Footscray Nicholson campuses are both just a short walk away, while Footscray Station is just minutes from your door. Jump on the train and you’re in the CBD fast – with Melbourne Uni (Parkville), RMIT (City Campus) and Swinburne (Hawthorn) all easy to reach without the stress. Whether you're heading to a lecture or a late-night study session, getting around is simple.

Footscray is one of Melbourne’s best food spots – from legendary Vietnamese pho houses and Ethiopian eats to late-night burgers, specialty coffee spots and weekend markets – there’s always something new to try. Hopkins Street and Barkly Street are lined with independent shops, bars and creative spaces that give the suburb its unmistakable edge.

Day-to-day life is easy here. Supermarkets, shops and everyday essentials are all close by, while parks and the Maribyrnong River trail are perfect for a run, walk, or a ride.

Getting around is effortless. Trains, trams and buses connect you across the inner west and beyond. The V/Line interchange makes regional travel easy, and the new Dixon Veloway means you can cycle to uni or the city without hassle.

And when the weekend hits? Melbourne’s CBD is close by, opening up a full spread of culture, sport, dining and entertainment. From the MCG to the NGV, from Fitzroy to St Kilda, it's all within easy reach from your front door.
