The boundaries of St Kilda Real Estate by Cowderoy Street, Ross Gregory Drive, Queens Road
and Queens Way in the north, Chapel Street, Inkerman Street, St Kilda Road and Brighton Road
in the east, Milton Street, Southey Street, Mitford Street and Dickens Street in the south and

Development of the St Kilda area dates from the 1840s. Rapid growth took place during the late
1800s, aided by the construction of the railway line and improved access. Some growth took place
in the interwar period, including the construction of many flats and apartments.
Significant St Kilda Real Estate development occurred during the 1950s and 1960s, due mainly to
high density development. St Kilda has experienced a small increase in population between 1996 and
2001, a result of new houses being added to the St Kilda area.
Major features of the St Kilda area include the retail areas along Fitzroy and Acland Streets,
Acland Court Shopping Centre, Albert Park, Luna Park, Palais Theatre, Astor Theatre, St Kilda Marina,
St Kilda Beach, St Kilda Sea Baths, The Esplanade, St Kilda Botanical Gardens, Catani Gardens, St
Kilda Adventure Playground, St Kilda-Williamstown Ferry, St Kilda Pier and three St Kilda schools.
