How Chelsworth, Ivanhoe apartments, became a public work of art

Ivanhoe is part of the&nbsp;City of Banyule,&nbsp;one part of eclectic north-east Melbourne&#39;s, just nine kilometres from the CBD.

The suburb is in large part comprised of established families, in part due to median unit prices upwards of $770,000,&nbsp;significantly higher than the metropolitan Melbourne median unit price of $563,910, a figure calculated by SQM Research.

However, an abundance of amenities, as well as proximity to public transport and major arterial roadways has made&nbsp;it a popular among many&nbsp;demographics. Not to mention its&nbsp;vibrant caf&eacute; culture as well as the ever&nbsp;popular and bustling Upper Heidelberg Road.

Younger couples and those planning a family will be&nbsp;attracted to the two elite private schools,&nbsp;Ivanhoe Grammar School, and Ivanhoe Girls&#39; Grammar School. It is also home to one of Victoria&#39;s oldest state schools, Ivanhoe Primary School, established in 1853.&nbsp;

Ivanhoe has also caught the eye of investors according to Bensons, the team behind Chelsworth, who said properties in the area boast an annual capital growth of six per cent.
