Melton
One of Melbourne’s satellite cities, Melton has become popular in recent years with families, professionals and singles who love its charming community feel, abundant green spaces and convenient location that’s easily accessible to the CBD. This is one of the fastest-growing areas in Australia and has more than doubled in population since 2003.
A quiet rural village, full of character houses on larger blocks of land, Melton is one of Victoria’s best value regional areas, offering great schools, a good variety of shops, lots to do and easy access to highways to and from to the city. Located about 45km north-west of downtown Melbourne, Melton is small enough to maintain a country town feel with all amenities and everyday necessities at your fingertips. Housing here is evolving, with some homes being redeveloped and many others being restored to their former glory, with lots of modern residences filling once empty vacant lots.
There’s plenty of local parks, including the indigenous Botanic Gardens where visitors and locals can see one of the best indigenous plant gardens in Australia.
Melton’s convenient location is only half an hour to Melbourne airport and an easy commute to universities. There is a choice of many primary and secondary schools, a vibrant café and dining scene along High Street, and world-class sporting facilities including indoor stadiums and Melton Waves – Australia’s first indoor wave pool.
With all of these assets, and the buzz of Melbourne only a short drive away, it’s no surprise that Melton has become so popular with buyers looking for value, convenience and a great place to live close to the heart of the city.
