In the 1880s, Toorak was struck by a mad scramble of those seeking to build. The suburb’s advantageous location was immediately recognised during and after the Gold Rush; closely situated to the Yarra River while offering prime access to central Melbourne.
Toorak today is home to Melbourne’s wealthiest families and some of the state’s most expensive mansions and manors. The postcode has rightfully earned the title of the city’s lavish nucleus. Iona is in optimal position, encompassed by a brilliant tetragon of hero roads including High Street, Glenferrie, Toorak and Williams roads, delivering the best parts of suburban and modern living.
