I’ve lived in Yarra glen for six years and coming from some of the most unsafe suburbs of Melbourne (western and northern) I can tell you, Yarra Glen is one of, if not the best and the safest suburb in Victoria! Yes it’s a little expensive but it’s worth every cent!
The internet connect is fabulous and traffic is zero. The fresh produce is absolutely brilliant and it’s cheaper than the western suburbs. Some of the most amazing restaurants, wineries, breweries, distilleries and orchards in Australia at your doorstep.
The schools are fantastic and all offer school buses. I can ravel off a heap of unsafe western and northern suburbs of Melbourne... this town is an absolute gem!
The blocks are big and the council have no intention of allowing blocks of units to be erected.
My three daughters have gone from having to escorted everywhere they go to finally being able to walk freely around town and come home when the street lights are on.
The views of the Dandenongs, from my home are breathtakingly beautiful and sitting on my deck watching the sun set over the Christmas hills is something that I only thought happened in movies.
Some may say that having ‘ A day on the green’ brings a lot of traffic but I’m usually at those concerts, so the five minute drive to the winery is nothing but a bonus in my opinion!
Yarra Glen... not just a town where you visit for a day but a town to raise your kids in a loving, accepting and safe community.
