Montmorency, VIC 3094

Love it, family friendly great community vibe.

We just moved to Monty (Montmorency) and my what a change! Green space, lots of trees, lots of families. It feels safe and clean. Nice big blocks. Train station not far away and Were St shops for groceries, coffee and dining. Many schools to choose from and only 18km from the CBD. We got a free standing house on a large block and are looking forward to raising our family in the area for many years to come.

I lived here for a shorter term than I would have liked. It was quiet but not silent. If you're near the main strip of shops that leads to the station it's a prime area. Also not too far from Greensborough plaza with varied forms of transport around. There's even fun events every now and then along Were St!

I've lived in Monty for nearly 10 years now.
It has a lot going for it, but one thing I've certainly noticed is that many of the original locals here are so smitten with the suburb to the point where they think it's the best place of all. I call it the Montmorencian self-deluded syndrome. They rave on about the local services, eateries, schools, real estate agents, and amenities like nothing else compares. My advice to new / prospective residents is to please take everything the so called locals tell you with a grain of salt and don't let them lull you into a false sense of reality.
Monty is a nice place to live but its local services aren't anything special.

Monty is that little slice of country just 18kms from the hustle and bustle of Melbourne. Such a wonderful place to call 'home'. Transport is well catered for with train and bus links to the CBD and airport. Another great thing about this suburb is the amount of 'green' spaces with walking trails and parks dotted everywhere. The real advantage of Monty though, lies in its location - to visit the hub of town (Were St), one must divert off the main roads and go searching for it. Its not a place that you can just drive through. The shopping strip (Were St) is an ecclectic mix, with numerous food options and essentials on offer.

I have lived in Monty for 31 years. It is green, hilly and feels like living in a small country town. Were St has great cafes, restaurants, a bar and shops. I have always felt safe and secure, our neighbors are lovely. It's central to the city, airport, hospitals and large shopping centres, but not too close.

Monty is a small suburb with a great little shopping village. Hilly, Gum trees & peace and quiet are notable here. Whilst there has been development the land is affordable for families wanting to build within the burbs.

Northeastern side used to be good but nowadays, increasing crimes as gangs moving in. Police presences used to be enough but no longer. Such a pity.

Large blocks, surprisingly close to everything.
Kids playing with neighbours like the olden days. Roller skating, bunnings, cafes, train station (eltham TS is equally as close), water parks, miniature train rides, bushwalking.
