This neighborhood is also known for its thriving wholesale fruit, vegetable and fish markets and is dotted with small pockets of commercial properties,
West Melbourne is bordered on the north by Kensington and North Melbourne, on the east by the Melbourne CBD, on the south by the Yarra River, and on the west by the Maribyrnong River.
