"Largely green area with a number of parks & reserves"

Kilsyth is a largely green area with numerous parks and reserves with two golf courses that border the suburb. The suburb comprises mainly suburban residential family homes and blocks of units with an industrial sector between Canterbury and Colchester Roads, while the south-east part of the suburb borders the foothills of Mount Dandenong where you will find much larger homes on acreage. You can drive to the city in under an hour on the Eastern Fwy or jump on the train at Mooroolbark (only 5 mins away). There are many schools in the area to choose from including Kilsyth Primary School, St Richards Primary School, Ruskin Park Primary School, Pembroke Primary School, Billanook College, Mooroolbark East Primary School and Luther College. There are a number of shopping centres and supermarkets in the suburb for your everyday needs including beauty salons and everyday groceries and located only 15 minutes away is Eastland and Westfield Knox for your larger retail needs.

"Melbourne's hidden gem"

Kilsyth is a hidden rose of the east, situated at the base of the dandys. There is nothing more anyone could ask of a suburb

"A Good Place"

I think Kilsyth is a nice place but over the years it has become very popular with the ammount of people now living out here.

The place was quite back in the 1990's but has increased with every year now if you want less people around you will have to move further away thats the same as everywhere though.

Kilsyth has been my place to live less happens out this way and i would not know what suburb to choose next if i had to pick one.

You still need to pick you house carefully if you move in you dont want to live next to a pack of animals which do still exist around Kilsyth so do your research and enjoy the fresh air until it gets over populated.

Thanks !!!!! And have fun

"Kilsyth is officially voted the happiest suburb in Australia in 2009"

Kilsyth was voted the happiest suburb in the whole of Australia in 2009. (source Herald Sun - May 10, 2009). Almost 50,000 Australians have taken The Test, an exhaustive questionnaire that gauges an individual's health and happiness.

Kilsyth is a lovely friendly place and has a local swimming pool, playgrounds and 3 supermarkets to do your shopping. ALDI has just been opened in Kilsyth. We love living in Kilsyth.

doolie

The rates in Kilsyth though, thanks to Yarra Ranges Council are horrendous!!! Pick a house in Maroondah Shire, about 2 k's closer to the city and cheaper than Kilsyth with all the same faciliies and livability

Pick a house in the Maroondah Shire and for the little you may save in rates you will indeed spend on the purchase price of a house. The market is crazy in Maroondah since Eastland expanded - you get a lot more for your money in Kilsyth
