Ormond

"Accessible and safe"

It's not a cheap place to live but considering its safe, family-friendly, abundant in heritage and 12km from the CBD, I think Ormond is good value for money. Neighbouring Glen Huntly, for example, doesn't tick all those boxes, yet is more expensive.

We moved to the area 6 months ago when we purchased our first family home, and so far we're really happy here.

Great for

  • McKinnon school zone
  • 5km from Brighton beach
  • Lovely heritage homes

Not great for

  • North Rd shopping strip is really outdated
  • No express trains stop at Ormond station
  • No walking tracks apart from a small park

Who lives here?

  • Professionals
  • Families with kids

"Safe, quiet, family street"

It's very residential. The houses are mostly inter-war era Californian bungalows and Edwardians. The residents are mostly families with young kids and older people. Kids walk to and from school.

  • McKinnon Secondary zone
  • Good demographic

Not great for

  • Railway line is not very well serviced
  • Closest supermarkets are in Bentleigh
  • Backs of some properties are facing Murray Rd
