March 2025 update: Holy smokes, Brunswick East Village is about to fire up! On Sunday, March 30, the super-cool community hub is about to transform into a great Aussie barbecue bonanza.

There'll even be live performances, face-painting for the kiddos, vino tastings by Blackhearts and Sparrows from 1pm to 3pm, and a chocolate-themed makers market! For all the tasty details, visit the website now and start planning your visit.
If only all of our apartment complexes were this cool – and convenient! In the last few years alone, East Brunswick Village has transformed into an idyllically situated apartment building (just 6 kilometres from the CBD) into the inner-city retail and foodie hub of our dreams.
East Brunswick Village is a space designed to be an "urban village", with open spaces and amenities for the whole community. And it's central to everything you could want — a market-style supermarket, an artisan bakery, a microbrewery, a boutique cinema, charming cafes, a day spa, a fitness center, a medical center and pharmacy, restaurants and much more. Also inside East Brunswick Village are captivating public art installations and gardens.
Hip Lebanese wine bar? Of course that's here – welcome to Rocket Society, run by the same folks who operate nearby Middle Eastern trailblazer restaurant Rumi. Want to catch a flick?

One word: elite – and yes, we're going to get our next Chrissie ham here.
