Right in the heart of everything, the best public schools in the area,and fab views! Love this street, so perfect for raising a young family. Most of the blocks are large and reasonably flat and the kids can walk to school- both bimbadeen and the high school.
We have amazing neighbours and 95% of the street take a lot of pride in the appearance of their house and yard- which at the end of the day increases your property value!
I can't speak highly enough of this street as our children have been so happy here. It has always been one of the most sought after streets in the area and its rare anyone sells once they are here!

Yes there are a few seedy pockets (as with any suburb) but generally speaking, its a fantastic place to raise a family. I have lived here for 14 years, bought here when i first got married. I have had 3 children since and have sent my children to the nearby primary school (bimbadeen) and also the high school. We have been delighted with the quality of education at the schools, our children have loved their time there so far. There is an abundance of local kindergartens and day care facilities to choose from and parks/playgrounds are everywhere! I have been blessed with amazing neighbours over the years so that has also given me a pleasant experience here.
I think the best area of mooroolbark is definitely the rolling hills/bimbadeen area. Peaceful, great views, big blocks that are reasonably flat and everything is within walking distance. Takes me 8 mins to station, 20 mins to chirnside cinemas as i have 3 playgrounds within a 2 min walk.
Mooroolbark has far too many takeaway shops (I think there are11 fish and chip shops and about 10 or more pizza places) but with some of the best wineries and cafes all within a 15 min radius. The moo bar is great for a late night wine with the girlfriends too.
Negative points are crappy reception for mobile with anyone other than telstra.
This is a great value for money town- rental prices are good in terms of investment (if you go for a 4 bedroom as they are in high demand), its nowhere near as dear as croydon and is much prettier with great views from a lot of the town. I couldn't recommend it highly enough!
