Kealba, VIC 3021

A well designed suburb with great access to parks and a reserve.
The personality of the suburb really shines when the sun is out and you see all the family BBQs and parks full of laughter.
The addition of a segregated large and small dog park in Green Gully Reserve is a great testimony to the planning.
The council is also investing into the suburb with landscaping upgrades popping up all around.
Thumbs up, hope to see more to come.

A smaller suburb, that has it all working in its favour
Located on top of a Valley, its Nature Reserves and Parks are exactly what to look for when purchasing
Owner occupied is the demographic and houses don't sell often, and honestly undervalued for what you're getting when you see the maintenance and care put into each investment
But don't take my word for it, just take a drive down Rowan Drive

I have lived in Kealba since 2005 and have never had a bad experience whilst living in this area. It is close to public transport, schools, childcare centres and a great kindy as well as shops and parks (including Brimbank park which I walk to every night during the summer months) as well as 2 freeways. I feel safe living here and recommend it to first buyers and young families.

Being priced out of the east, we moved here to the Keilor side of this suburb few months ago after renting in inner-west for many years. Proximity to the city (20 mins toll and 30 mins freeway) as well as affordability was the deciding factor in our case. Calder freeway is a delight from Green gully road onwards. Tullamarine freeway widening, which is due for completion early next year is going to further ease our commute. Planning is underway for the M80 ring road from Sunshine avenue to Calder freeway which will add lanes easing traffic. Being a small suburb it doesn't have its own train station but buses are well connected and a 5 minute bus ride take you to Keilor Plains railway station.

Brimbank park is 2 minutes walk and Green gully reserve (undergoing plenty of renovation) is also 2 minutes walk. The Green Gully reserve has a driving school, dogs training, soccer club, tennis as well as cricket club. Brimbank park is absolutely wonderful. Although there are'nt any cafes in the near vicinity, we've got Kelior downs town centre for weekly grocerry shopping. Additionally, Highpoint shopping centre is 10 km away, Watergardens shopping center and Essendon DFO are both 5 kms away.

We envisage a bright future for this tiny suburb in the coming years due the following reasons;

Parks proximity
Proximity to Sunshine Hospital
Proximity to Shopping centres
Victoria University St Albans Campus
Melbourne CBD Proximity
Freeway access
St Albans and Sunshine gentrification
Tullamarine Freeway widening
M80 Ring road upgrade

Cons . After movinig to the Rowan Drive about 2 weeks in there was a car blown up in front of our house.
Hoons every weekend and some local idoits think it's calder raceway . Back of Rowan drive when going for walks all ways finding needles, broken glass dumped trash from weekend junkie gatherings and in summer time theres always some twits lighting fires at brimbank park backing on to Rowan drive.
Hopefully the new housing on Rowan drive fixes that.
Have been broken into and robbed once. Same as neighbor across the road.
Green Gully Reserve is a hang out for hoons, bong smokers and trouble makers after dark.
Kealba high was voted the worst high school in victoria.
Some Pros Did have great neighbors and we looked out for each other which was good.
Brimbank Park at the end of the street, Great park i must admit.
Keilor Downs Plaza great little shops with the best deil's in town.

The people living in Kealba enjoy a country lifestyle with a very good proximity to all major shopping centres and hot spots such as Highpoint, Water Gardens, Keilor, Niddrie & Essendon. Public transport is closely available and Tullamarine airport only a 5 minute drive which is great for travelling! I live here with my young family and we plan to be here for a long time, my wife and I are very happy with our decision to live in Kealba and we believe the area is way under valued at present.

Well I have been living in Kealba for 9 years. This suburb provides exactly what I want for going around, shopping and schools. Everyday I go to work and back home so easy, thanks to Western Ring Road acess at Sunshine Avenue. The bus is at my door step. I feel sorry for people who live in a ..."expensive" areas in eastern side of the city struggling with trafics on a daily basic. Of course good suburb is not just about trafic, so what else do we need for a good living? a place with all amenities closed by?. You can get that in Kealba. The only problem with Kealba is that not many people heard about it. I find this so vague. In my opinion, the suburb deserved a 80/100 score
By the way, I did not experience any unsecure enviroment at all in Kealba yet we knoe that other suburb in the western and north western sides having some secirity problems every now and then.
