Donvale is a beautiful suburb, that consists of a mixture of manicured acreages, bush blocks and suburban houses. One of its striking attractions is the local Yarran Dheran - a breathtakingly beautiful bushland Park- located on the border of Donvale, with paths that follows the banks of the Mullum Mullum Creek. For nature lovers, many native species of wildlife, particularly birds, live in the park, and a walk along the Mullum Mullum creek trail will not leave you disappointed. Despite being surrounded by nature, Donvale is surprising close to amenities. It has the perfect balance of country feel living, but city convenience. If you live on the eastern part of the suburb, Eastland, Costco are a quick drive away. You have a choice of 4 train stations (Nunawading, Mitcham, Heatherdale and Ringwood) to choose from, but if you chose to drive, the eastern freeway is not far away. It is very quiet and peaceful though, as the eastern freeway runs below as a tunnel through the suburb, leaving the Bushland protected. The suburb itself is only 19 kms from the city and is an easy drive.

If you are unconvinced, all you have to is look up a map, Melway or Google Earth, and you will immediately be able to see just how beautifully green the suburb is, and how close it is to amenities. Better still, pay Yarran Dheran a visit, explore the many walking paths and go for a scenic drive around suburb. You will no doubt appreciate this little place of sanctuary in Melbourne’s east.

Only bad thing is there's no internet but i'm a very outdoorsy kinda guy so it doesn't really matter

Such a great suburb of tree lined streets with town homes to large acreage with Mansions, the diversity is amazing and you will find any home you are looking for. Great access to the city and amazing facilities with schools and sport, a truly amazing place to raise kids.

I don't believe Donvale gets it's just reward when compared to Templestowe and Doncaster. It's a very safe and quiet suburb with very green tree lined streets, quality demographic, very impressive sports and recreation facilities as well as excellent schools and access to public transport. It is very under valued at this stage, especially the original part which is east of Tunstall Road and west of Springvale Road. Gives value for money in this pocket in an around Wright Avenue and Roy Street. Blocks can be used as family homes or developed into double storey duplex townhouses. Absolute quality. Hidden undervalued gem everyone. Shhhh maybe we should keep it a secret.

O - Ongoing new builds
