People

Hadfield has a diverse and evolving community, influenced by its history as a working-class suburb and recent gentrification. Many older residents have lived in Hadfield for decades, particularly European migrants (Italian, Greek, Lebanese) who moved in during the post-war period. However younger families are arriving due to its affordability.

It has good schools, easy access to Gowrie and Fawkner train stations, and major roads like Sydney Road and the Western Ring Road for convenient commuting.

Homes

Hadfield has many older post-war homes on large blocks. Many original brick veneer and weatherboard homes remain, often well-maintained but dated. Developers and investors are subdividing larger blocks into dual-occupancy homes or 3-4 townhouses per lot to meet demand.
