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…
“The friendliness and ease of access to so many different types of businesses and people is what we love most about Seddon”
— Raylene, Confident Conveyancing
“Community is at the heart of Seddon. It is what makes the place and people within it tick. We may not be as well known as our surrounding suburbs, but Seddonians are a motley crew who are proud of their village and welcome visitors with open arms”
— Sasha, Kith & Kin
“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”
