Along with Carlton North and Fitzroy North, Clifton Hill has wide streets than most of inner Melbourne, legacy of a government subdivision laid out by Clement Hodgkinson in the 1860s.[citation needed]
Described in the 1880s as the "Toorak of Collingwood",[3] Clifton Hill fell out of favour, along with much of inner Melbourne, by the mid 20th century. Later becoming a centre of Melbourne's bohemianism, the suburb has undergone rapid gentrification in recent years with renewed interest in its inner city location and Victorian and Edwardian housing stock.[citation needed]
