The allure of residing on the fringe of the city has consistently attracted Melburnians&nbsp;to the St Kilda Rd precinct.

The most popular streets have been St Kilda Rd, which has some of Melbourne's most iconic residential buildings, and its adjacent Queens Road which flanks Albert Park Lake.

Developer&nbsp;CDG and Eramount&nbsp;knew the cache of the area when they secured their sprawling 4,645 sqm for their now completed apartment development,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/victoriana-20-queens-road-melbourne">Victoriana</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1979 project_image_fid=78666]

Designed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>, Victoriana's architectural design is emphasised with cascading terraces, a vertical garden, and careful consideration of the natural landscape.

<blockquote>
"The orientation of each residence has been carefully considered to maximise views across Albert Park Lake, Fawkner Park, Royal Botanical Gardens and the city beyond." 
Rothelowman
</blockquote>

Standing tall at 18 levels, Victoriana elegantly slopes between Melbourne Central Activities district and St Kilda Junction, preserving views of the Shrine of Remembrance. This design reduces the visual impact on nearby homes and improves Queens Road's landscaping.

Completed in March 2021 by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/hickory">Hickory</a>, Victoriana boasts 250 oversized two, three, and four-bedroom apartments, including a super penthouse occupying the entire 16th floor.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1979 project_image_fid=78669]

Apartments from the ground floor to the ninth have three lifts and a concierge, while the penthouse collection on the 10th to 16th floors has two lifts and an extra concierge for added exclusivity.

Every detail, from meticulously selected fittings and fixtures to the use of top-tier natural materials, has been curated to establish an atmosphere of luxury and sustainability.

Spacious living domains feature state-of-the-art kitchens equipped with high-quality Gaggenau appliances, sleek stone surfaces, and ample preparation and presentation space.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1979 project_image_fid=78702]

Sun-soaked balconies and private terraces extend the interiors seamlessly from inside to out. A handful of balconies feature&nbsp;private pools and spas with never to be built out views of Albert Park.

While most modern apartments feature communal swimming pools, Victoriana elevates the experience by providing residents with their very own pools.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1979 project_image_fid=78670]

There's a heated 25-metre indoor swimming pool, a steam room and a sauna, as well as a state-of-the-art gym, equipped with cardio and weights, a lounge and garden terrace, and services like concierge assistance, secure video intercom entry, high-speed lift access, and a porte-cochere.

Across from the infamous Albert Park Lake and situated only a kilometre from the CBD and major parklands and botanic gardens, Victoriana residents are open to the finest restaurants, cafes, boutique shopping, high-end international shopping and public amenities offered in Melbourne.

Capturing views of Melbourne's best locations: Inside Melbourne's Victoriana apartments

Affordability has began to pinch even the most astute property seeker, following 12 interest rate hikes from the RBA in as little as 14 months.

That's taken the official cash rate some four per cent higher than it was in April last year, to 4.1 per cent.

On average, the rate hikes have cut the average property buying budget by over $150,000.

And while there was a downturn in property markets while the RBA was in the hike-cycle, prices have now bottomed, and are on their way back up.

Unfortunately for prospective borrowers, that's not the case for their budgets, as rates are expected to stay above the four per cent mark well into next year.

To combat the growing budget pains, we've put together a list of Melbourne's best off the plan and newly completed apartments for sale under $500,000.
