The City of Knox has always held a vision to improve local infrastructure; most recently the Knox Private Hospital had a major overhaul, Wantirna College had new facilities built, and the local parklands have been well maintained. In conclusion, Wantirna is a suburb that offers a great lifestyle, with its rich culture, convenient location, and abundance of amenities. It provides a safe and inclusive community, excellent education and healthcare facilities, and a variety of recreational opportunities. With its growing population, investment prospects, and future developments, Wantirna presents exciting opportunities for buyers, sellers, and investors.

We have lived in Wantirna for a few months now and are finding it okay. It is lovely and quiet, spacious, and safe for families. However, be prepared to drive everywhere to get around. It lacks the charm and character of the inner suburbs, and feels very far away from the city! But is perfectly fine as an area otherwise.

Wantirna (Regency Park) was a lovely leafy suburb with kindergartens, primary and secondary schools within walking distance. This was how the suburb was designed. Sadly there has been an influx of developers who are razing block after block, with ugly buildings including several stories, being built. The home gardens are gone with houses being built fence to fence and units being squeezed in inappropriately on a block. The neighbours I have lived with for 40 years are all but gone and there is no security anymore. Shame on the Knox Council allowing these developments. Knox City Shopping Centre is appalling, it used to be a social hub but it is just a shadow of its former self.

Having worked in the Wantirna area for more than a decade, I have seen it transform and become what it is today! Its a great convenient place to live, located within close proximity to Westfield Knox, East Link Freeway and some great schools such as Wantirna Secondary College and The Knox School. Overall its a great suburb to live and work.

it is green, it has mountain views and it certainly has lots of open spaces. it feels safe and family-oriented as well.
However, it is not gentle on your car because it is hilly, with the speed limit as 80 it means you need to drive fast on hilly areas.
Also, even if there are really awesome shopping centres around like Eastland / Westfield knox, I generally find parking a hassle in public holidays/weekends. some shopping courts are not free for parking either.
My friends and I met some really rude people that stole our parking spot while honking us at the same time.
I would say it is overall a very habitable suburb. I do think they need more free parking closer to Ringwood station though

Another down side is that I find it colder in winter time than other suburbs-possibly because of the mountain. I mainly concluded this because it takes longer for my car to defrost.

We just moved into knox and found this area is good.

Close enough to the city to be convenient and get there in a timely manner, yet far enough to not be congested with traffic.
Having lived in the area my entire life, I have been able to experience and enjoy everything that Wantirna has to offer.
Very safe suburb with a lot to offer including great education and sporting clubs within the area.

Great location! So close to a number of schools, shops and the east link. Perfect for bringing up a family.

Look its not bad but its got nothing that stands out as great. The houses are of that era that are a bit tacky and the cafes are alright but nothing special. I have got 2 young kids and im currently looking at schools and im not hearing great things. The walk along the creek is nice although ive been advised not to do it at night. Knox westfield is pretty good and is about to have a big reno so hopefully that might provide a few more decent dining/cafe options.

This is a lovely suburb with so much to offer. Located close to the Eastlink freeway, you are close to most shopping complexes and makes the suburb very accessible. There are plenty of schools, parks, walking tracks and cafes which is perfect for family living.

The average rental income is between - $450 - $500 for a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom property
