One of the easiest and attractive suburbs to live in within the Geelong region. There are a few main roads around it but not the same congestion that you'll face in all other directions from town. Its also an easy walk to town and the bay.
The vibe has changed a little during COVID. The streets have more pedestrians than ever. Recent road improvements from the council have improved the pedestrian experience immensely, but there are still improvements required around the Garden st/Ormond Rd shops, which is still a strangely disconnected shopping strip.
The housing stock is beautiful and there are not many un-renovated houses left.

East Geelong is the home of boutique shopping within the Geelong region. A hidden little gem, youll find the quirky stores resemble places youd expect to find in Daylesford. On the cusp of the CBD and waterfront, its an ever sort after location for families and professionals alike.

The area certainly doesnt lack in greenery either, with the botanical gardens, reserves and parks in abundance.

The popularity of East Geelong is evident in its growth of 8.3% over the last 12 months. The median house price currently sits at $650,000 whilst the median rent averages $370 per week both affordable figures considering the location.

The percentage divide between owner occupy and rental properties is 71% to 29%. The majority of occupants applying for houses within the area are 20-30 year olds which shows an overwhelming desire for young professionals.

It is all about the great transportation system here which is highly accessible for work and leisure. Very family-oriented and friendly neighbours.

We moved here a year ago from Melbourne. Absolutely love it. It's walking distance to a great park, botanical garden, the sea and the city amenities. Although it lacks dining options, it's not short of great cafes. The lovely, wide tree lined streets with gorgeous, well kept heritage houses are a feast for the eyes. It's spacious, not claustrophobic like other inner city suburbs. Great for walking dogs. Friendly neighbourhood. It offers some specialty type shopping options.

Perfect location for anybody who works in Geelong CBD or commutes to Melbourne. I have done both and love how accessible east geelong is to transport. There is south geelong station a stone throw away from where we currently live. Great bike paths, so I ride to work in town. Great family feel to the suburb, quiet area and well kept homes and front gardens. There is lots of street and home pride in East Geelong. I would confidently say that it is the most plesant suburb I have lived in within Victoria. Its not the easiest suburb to buy into because it has become very popular over the past few years. I have a feeling it will continue on that trend. Many people are now buying older homes and renovating them too. Don't think we will be moving any time soon.

Just walk the streets yourself and you will see how well kept homes are, how unique the homes are and how friendly the neighbours are. Our family moved to Geelong from Melbourne and were very impressed with this quaint suburb. Beautiful, clean, gorgeous homes & community pride.

My husband and I recently bought a 2-bedroom apartment in East Geelong as an investment property. We love the fact that East Geelong seems like a quiet neighbourhood with wide, tree-lined streets. Richmond Reserve and South Geelong train station are just around the corner, while Geelong Racecourse/Showgrounds, East Geelong Golf Club, Skilled Stadium, Botanic Gardens, the popular Eastern Beach, a handful of local primary schools, Geelong Hospital, and Geelong CBD are all less than 5 minutes away.

It's definitely fantastic inner-city living and great value for money.

A residential suburb with a population of almost 4,000 people, East Geelong sits just outside of Geelong city centre and is therefore a great location for professionals but is also suited to families. Bordered by Corio Bay, Geelong, Newcomb, South Geelong, Breakwater and Whittington, East Geelong boasts an Aussie Rules football team and a golf club to keep sports enthusiasts entertained. Home to the Geelong Botanical Gardens, East Geelong has an average property price of $210,000.
