Macleod, VIC 3085

Macleod is definitely the place to be! We are so amazed by this suburb and its community. You always meet people at the local park, and it's very family-friendly. The park is right in front of cafés, a pharmacy, IGA, a post office, and a few restaurants, as well as the train station, tennis courts, and a YMCA. I've never seen anything like this—we are loving it!

Great place to raise a family. Surrounded by numerous reserves and filled with nature this place has all the qualities for bringing up children. The community is very welcoming and has numerous of activities for everyone to get involved.. all within 14km of the city!

Only moved here 2 months ago, but very happy with our choice. Very quiet and friendly in our area. Train station and service very reliable. 25 minutes on the train to work beats spending an hour in the car and paying for parking. Shopping is okay, mostly cafes and take away, sad to say no bakery. However it's not far to travel to Watsonia which on the whole has a much better local shopping centre. Downside is the house prices both for sale and rental.

We are very happy here, it is safe and plenty of parks for the kids and dog. I have lived in Melbourne for over 25 years and this is the first time I have felt a real sense of community. Highly recommended if you are looking for quiet living, with all the convenience of city living

Lovelly people, great walking tracks, picturesck, lots and trees and parks, quiet, superb location thats close to everything with a real community spirit. We love it!

I have been staying with my family for more than 5 years and take pride in the right choice we made. Lovely people, caring neighbours, green leafy place which is so peaceful. You have a train station, really good parks for walk, children's play area, nice schools, well connected with buses, tennis courts, cafes, auspost...almost everything a family needs.
Best part is its only 15km from city! Now with the north east link construction, you could reach city even faster!
We enjoy staying here.

Nice and convenient suburb close to station close to city.

Small Suburb, it is quiet and close to the station, only 15 km to city. Neighbors are very nice. There are at least 4 large parks over there. New house is very expensive there and over 1million. But the old and tidy houses are with a good price and large land size. And this suburb could catch Viewbank College. Close to Doncaster Shopping mall(15mins), and Northland shopping mall(10 mins).
Close to Latrobe Uni.
Fantastic Place to move in

Abit boring

Lovely neighbourhood, friendly people, clean and safe and the Springthorpe estate is an absolute joy to live in. Great set of shops, close to the train station and the city is only a short drive away. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

I think Macleod is a lovely suburb. It's really safe. The shops are nice. Very friendly neighbours and people. Nice shop owners. Never had any bad experiences what so ever. Very nice and friendly over all. Macleod Secondary is a great school. There's a YMCA, Tennis Club, IGA, 2 Hairdressers, Newsagent, 2 Fish and Chips shops, florist, op shop, green grocer, puppy groming shop, sinners pizza, pharmacy, 2 milkbars, cafe, butcher, a bank, 2 clothes shops, 2 dollar shop, art and craft shop, post office, electronic shop thingo, some beauty shop with nails and spray tans etcc.., keys cut shops and hardware etc. Thats pretty much it. Really handy shops. Very low crime rate. Nice and safe in the heart of Macleod.

We have found paradise in Cascade Walk, Springthorpe Estate, Macleod. The architecture is fantastic, neighbours wounderful, we have access to the Country club with pool, tennis courts, gym, bbq facilities, decking and lounge, we are surrounded by walking tracks, parks, nature reserves and The Cascades waterscape.The 48 bus goes straight past for our child to get to Ivanhoe Grammer, or it's a short walk to Macleod Station for the train. We have cafes within walking distance in the estate. It is like living in the country but only 14km to the city. We couldn't be happier.

We love the Springthorpe Country Club facilities, social activities, active, fun loving neighbours and that feeling that we are in the country but only 14km to the city. Excellent public transport to Ivanhoe, Heidelberg and Kew schools. Select Cafe and shops in the estate.

Love Macleod - have been here a long time and it is incredibly safe! Never been broken into and leave the car unlocked! Great schools - overall fantastic with lots of parks and a middle class of people. My neighnours and I have christmas parties and spend lots of tiem with each other.

Safe neigbourhood. Good for families with kids. Close to everything.

a beautiful area, nice neighbour. it will be perfect if have more school for family who has children.

Very nice area to live in but it is a bit expensive. There are a few schools around. Macleod High which is a really good school
