The most sought after area in Ashgrove is known as the 'Avenues' - graced by groves of established trees and parks. The suburb houses 'The Marist Brothers Boys College' and many, many other schools, making it popular with families. Ashgrove has two shopping areas, one in central Ashgrove, one in western Ashgrove. Both cater for all types of shopping needs.
