Everything about Heidelberg West Victoria totally explained
Heidelberg West is a suburb with poor realestate in
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is most notable as the site of the
1956 Summer Olympics athlete's village. The village was converted into a housing commission estate following the conclusion of the games, and in recent years has had properties sold into private hands. In 2006 the suburb was selected for "
urban renewal" by the State Government because it suffers from a low socio-economic profile.
At the
2006 census, it had a population of 5097.

1950's which features an

Aldi supermarket along with a
Priceline Pharmacy,
TAB and about 3 stores, including the local cellers which is popular amongst the youths. This isn't the only retail in the area as there's a shopping strip at the end of Bell Street including several car and motorbike dealers plus a
McDonald's fast food outlet. It is also close to
Northland Shopping Centre in nearby
Preston, Victoria.
