Berwick, VIC 3806

The berwick village is what used to be an old country town since the 1800's, and still maintains much of the history. There are big old buildings and trees down the main road.
The estates around the area are clean and modern and have lots of young people and families. There is an excellent choice of resaurants and take away in the area. Also very close to fountain gate. Lots of budget warehouse shopping, you can easily live on a budget. There are also lots of nice parks and nature reserves in the area.
the area is not as diverse or multicultural as it could be though. And seems a bit bland. As well as being really far out from the city, i think you could find better value somewhere closer in to the cbd.

Berwick is one of Melbourne's most popular outer south-east suburbs, and for good reason. The area is clean, well-maintained, and has a real sense of community pride. There are fantastic schools, beautiful parks, and plenty of shopping options including Parkhill Plaza and the Berwick Village strip. The village itself is charming with a great selection of cafes and restaurants. Public transport is convenient with direct train access to the city, and major freeways make driving a breeze. It's a suburb that truly caters to families, professionals, and retirees alike — a fantastic place to call home.

Lived here for ten years. Over the past 2 - 3 years the noise from hoons doing burnouts has become a multiple nightly occurrence, would not move here again, there is no community news and the neighborhood has become a flip /airbnb suburb slowly losing its charm, the real estate agents posting reviews couldn’t be more wrong, if you have a choice move somewhere else or get some good ear plugs

And I live in the “good side” and new money moving into the ugly houses does not mean good people just because they have stuff.

Don’t be fooled Olde Berwick is not the same.

Abundance of park land, shops, and amenities. North side is the older side and still retains a lot of its charm. South side is all estates but well laid out. Only downside is the hoons and Clyde Rd.

Olde Berwick is simply stunning! A very quiet, leafy and clean area with easy access to many nice cafe's, restaurants, shops, bars and parks in the Berwick Village. There are many beautiful homes from various periods throughout history located within the Berwick Hoddle Grid, there are also some extremely impressive newer homes located around the top of Berwick around Beaumont rd, Old Coach rd, Casey dr, Caserta dr and Buchanan rd (You can expect to pay around $2-5 million for homes in these areas). It is quite a hilly area, particularly the further north you are, but this makes for fantastic views which extend all the way to Port Phillip Bay. There are some top performing schools in Berwick including Haileybury College, St Margaret's and Nossal which are all in the top 25 schools in Melbourne. It is also worth mentioning that Berwick has a number of hospitals including the fantastic St John of God hospital which my family has personally had an amazing experience with. For residents who have to travel down Clyde road it is currently subject to quite horrendous traffic conditions with road works and a level crossing removal taking place. Hopefully some of this traffic will be alleviated once these works are complete. I would say that Berwick is probably not ideal for commuters travelling to the CBD in peak hour, but from my experience working in the city If I leave before the peak hour traffic then I can get to the city in 35 minutes. If you are considering moving to Berwick and want to get a feel for the area then here are my recommendations; go have dinner at Shanika's, have brunch at Primary at Pioneers, take a walk around Wilson botanic park and go to the Akoonah park market. I find that Berwick is often subject to a lot of prejudice from out of towner's who don't know the area and group it in with places like Narre Warren, Pakenham and Cranbourne, but once they actually get to know the area I find they change their mind. Go check out the “Berwick Prestige Homes” instagram page, it says it all!

Berwick residents enjoy a number of great shopping centres close by which include, Eden Rise Village Shopping Centre and Parkhill Plaza Shopping Centre and is only 10 minutes’ drive to the second largest and very reputable Westfield Fountain Gate Shopping Centre.

The most popular is Wilson Botanic Park which is home to many native wildlife and has a large collection of plants enjoyed for both education and recreational purposes as well as a Bird Hide. Surrounded by the Basalt Lake, you can enjoy the great walking tracks or just relax and enjoy the barbeque facilities and playground area for children. Berwick is 1 hour approx to the Melbourne CBD by train and has great private schools as well as many government primary schools and is therefore very attractive to young and growing families as well as retirees. Other attractions within close reach of Berwick are the Old Cheese Factory, Myuna Farm which has a large number of farm animals and provides the best entertainment for children.
