Allens

Burwood is an often overlooked suburb that takes you away from the chaos of city life, but is still close to all the necessary amenities. The lush and scenic Gardiners Creek is the perfect place for walks or afternoon picnics. With Box Hill just around the corner, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine, offering meals at competitive prices. With access to a 24-hour K-Mart on Burwood Highway, you can do your shopping at any time of the day. A 10-minute drive takes you to Camberwell's shopping and cafe strip, plus it's only a 15-minute drive to fashion capital, Chadstone Shopping Centre. Trams on Burwood highway go to Flinders Street, take the train from Box Hill Central or drive down to the freeway entrance nearby. The suburb is also perfect for students with access to Deakin University, PLC, and Mt Scorpus.
