I searched lots of Melbourne suburbs to buy house but eventually settled on Templestowe Lower from Geelong and happy I did. Its very nice, close to shopping centers, public transport not far away, good restaurants and Box Hill only 20 mins drive. I can find everything here without fuss and online deliveries take next day. I'm glad I don't have to encounter trams like in other suburbs, traffic is easy flowing. Unlike others don't care about night life or bars, can go to CBD if want to. Air is cleaner and reasonably quiet except one neighbor shouting at her kids every second day. Overall recommend it highly.

Doncaster and East Doncaster is little over rated now given the upsurge in prices in the recent years. A hidden gem is the cluster of houses in Templestowe Lower that sits on these suburbs border and close to Doncaster Shopping Town. Close to Melbourne CBD, amenities, schools, parks & recreation!

To echo many of the other reviews of Templestowe Lower: "nice" is the first word that comes to mind when I think of this suburb. It's the kind of place with green, tree-lined streets that are perpetually quiet, save for the sound of lawn mowers on weekend afternoons. At the top of its many hills, you get fleeting views of the Dandenong Ranges to the east and Melbourne city to the west. At the lowest point, you're in the Yarra Valley Parklands, where you can stroll along the river and through the woods. And as if that weren't enough scenery to take in, Ruffey Lake Park is a gorgeous hilly area fit for walking, running, cycling, and dog walking. If you're after a quiet suburb with plentiful outdoor recreational opportunities, Templestowe Lower certainly checks that box.

However, if you're looking for trendy restaurants and nightlife, you'll have to drive to another suburb to find it. Luckily Templestowe Lower is only a 20-25 minute drive from the CBD, but without a car you'll likely have to catch 2-3 buses to get most anywhere of interest outside of rush hour. There are a few buses that stop at nearby train stations, and once you catch the train it's a quick commute to the inner city suburbs. But avid shoppers, fear not: the massive Doncaster Shopping Centre should meet your retail needs (and your movie needs as well - there's a cinema inside).

Overall, Templestowe Lower is a great fit for families, while young singles might find it frustrating to be so far away from the action in other livelier neighborhoods.

Raising a young family was probably the theme; that went behind the design of this lush green suburb. Great parks and picnic spots can entertain the whole family. Neighbors always care for a chat during lawn mowing. Leafy suburb with a colorful fall season. Very suitable for people who love nature. Schools can cater for your child's entire schooling years. Public transport can be relied upon for peak hour travel; however its slim during the weekend. Manningham town center is good joint for shopping and coffee. There will be more range for the brunch crowd coming soon, given the influx of townhouses and units in the area.

My 1st Preference to live in Melbourne! This Suburb has heaps on Amenties nearby such as Schools, Public Transport as well as Parks & Reserves & even shops such as Doncaster! This is superb to live in!

I moved to templestowe lower since 2008. It is a great place to live if you like quite and green suburb. There are a few nice parks surounded the suburb i.e wombat, westerfold. If you are willing to drive a few more minutes ruffley lake parks. Just a few minutes drive there is shopping town Westfield, pines shopping. This suburb has all it needs to raise kids including school. I highly recommend to those families with kids.

It is very near to CBD too.. Just 20 min drive.

This suburb is not suitable for people like to go for night life I.e pub, disco, bar and etc. To move around this suburb you need a car. The public transport is just not good. Majority of the bus do not operate after 7pm, Saturday and Sunday.

I came to Templestowe Lower In 2004 because my now husband owned a house in the neighbourhood. We still live here and I believe this area is good for somethings but not others. On the positive side it is leafy and full of wildlife. It's great for walks (exercise and pleasure) and is a short walk away from creeks and the Yarra river. It is also close to basic shops and a short trip away from Shopping Town. On the negative side ... there isn't much else to do. The public transport is so poor that trying to get anywhere other than the CBD isn't worth the hassle. To get to my workplace in South Yarra, the most efficient way to get there was by bus and two trains. The demographic seems to be older couples with kids in their teens or twenties so there is a bit of 'hoonage'. As a former inner city dweller I find it all a bit dull but it is probably good for those with family and friends in the area, who have access to a car and don't mind sleepy restaurants. There is nothing in the way of a decent pub or bar to relax in. But if you are the type of person happy to do the whole 'family' thing then I guess it's nice. I wouldn't say that it is the cheapest area but is more reasonable than some of the neighbouring suburbs.

My uncle has been living here since 1989. Well , to be honest nice neighbourhood and serene area. Certain part of Templestowe Lower which is nearer to Maningham area and High Street are of good buys. Other than that, personally speaking, an average suburb with average sosial status and average income owner. It is a good entry to Maningham area as properties in Templestowe lower are of great value for money as compared to Templestowe and Doncaster as for 700K, you get really nice renovated house and for 800K above, you will have all the luxury and location.My sisters loves it here as people are not snobbish and easily accessed to shopping as she lives near Maningham Road.

Templestowe Lower is a nice suburb with a lot of facilities around it but all by driving, transport is good by bus but no tram or train option… at least not the side I was on. The suburb was quiet and also felt safe and was good to walk around, it was a bit hilly for really young kids to ride around and I was not that happy with the local school options.
I think the best way to describe the suburb is nice but you definitely need a car to do most things.
