Ivanhoe, VIC 3079

Beautiful combination of city-like cafes & culture, blended with the decent block sizes & parks of an outer-suburb. Ivanhoe is truly a lovely area of Melbourne to grow up in. Many dog owners live in this suburb & they are spoilt for choice when choosing an outing for their walks. Also a newly refurbished public library that has a huge range of borrowing options, otherwise serves as an ideal study location.
Unfortunately the cost of purchasing or renting a house in the area is unachievable for my family. The council rates alone are enough to put one into staggering debt!

Ivanhoe is very friendly. You are never lonely in Ivanhoe. It is hard to make a quick trip to the shops because there is always someone to say hi to and have a chat.

Moved to Ivanhoe back in 2014 which was one of the best life decisions my wife and I made. Access to almost any part of Melbourne is easily available, schools are plentiful and park lands are in abundance. The neighborhood is always welcoming and we have never felt unsafe. Highly recommended to young couples as well as established families.

Ivanhoe definitely has an understated charm. It provides a plethora of options for the idyllic family friendly lifestyle; quiet tree-lined streets full of beautiful houses, various parks and gardens all throughout this wonderful suburb, great private and public local schools whilst also being within the catchment area of the many great schools of the surrounding area. Ivanhoe also boasts a wonderful village-style strip with great caf's, restaurants and boutique retail outlets.

This leafy suburb in Melbourne's green belt provides a sanctuary of peace and quiet, with friendly residents and shop-owners that give Ivanhoe a sense of community and belonging. Well serviced by public transport and free-flowing arterial roads, this is a safe and friendly area with everything at your doorstep, and only a short 8-10km to Melbourne's CBD. Property in the area remains under-valued for what Ivanhoe has to offer and with all of its' cafe's, shops, schools and parks, it is the ideal suburb for families with children or those preparing for a family.

Ivanhoe and surrounding area is always a smart choice.

Trendy cafes on one side, world class health care on the other, some of the best school in the country within stone throw and very, very close to the CBD.

Buying is not cheap though...

Ivanhoe is rather quite amazing, with beautiful periodic homes with nice architecture. It is generally a safe suburb, however it is a target for burglary. Mostly are very friendly people and a nice neighbourhood. The Leafy streets are lovely, especially in Autumn. It is Cosy and cute. Everything is at your doorstep. I highly recommend going to Upper Heidelberg Road because they have a really good variety of shops and many to choose from. I also recommend taking a walk along The Boulevard (and at Christmas time), it is rather stunning.

Drive through the streets of Ivanhoe and you'll come to appreciate the serenity, the beauty and the amenities on offer, all so close to the CBD, and the Eastern freeway. It is a rare find, and suburbs like this are usually outer suburbs, rather than a mere 8 km from central melbourne. Just the place for people of all ages, but if you have kids, the schools make it a can't miss if you're in the market for a new family home.
