"Toorak of the North, Greenvale"
Known as the "The Toorak of the north" Stylish premium living. A "Leafy" premium middle ring suburb, 20kms north of Melbourne CBD.
Great local shopping centre, (set to be expanded with new Medical centre, new Aldi and more shops in 2016 ) Great local schools. 5 mins drive to Roxburgh Park train station & Shopping Centre. Has a frequent 484 bus service to train station and wide roads. 10 mins away from everything ie: Westfeild Airport West, DFO Essendon, Broadmeadows and Craigieburn shopping centres very easy quick access to city, 35 mins peak, 25 mins off peak. (Even quicker once the Tullamarine freeway widening is complete)
I think the best part about Greenvale is the peace and tranquility. It's a very safe suburb.There is a sense of community. Some people think Greenvale is out in the sticks, no its not. Greenvale is a middle ring suburb, It's only a mere 19-20 kms from the city and your 5 mins away from the tulla Fwy. There are beautifull large family homes on large blocks, very family friendly streets and a parks everywhere.
There is so much to be said about Greenvale...from the great local parks, great local shopping centre, medical facilities.... to large family style homes...but one of the best parts of Greenvale is the value for money for now. Prices have been steadily increasing recently due to its convenient strategic 'middle ring' location and easy access into the Airport, inner city suburbs and CBD.
Many people see Greenvale as a great new and alternative to Essendon, Moonee Ponds, Toorak or a Brighton ect....The reason for this is you get good value for money in Greenvale. You can buy a 1.5 - 2 million dollar mansion in Greenvale, 120 Squares, 1 acre block, Tennis court, indoor pool etc.. For under $900K you get a large execitive house on a very large block of land with high quality fixtures Greenvale. From $650K- $850K you still get a very nice, architectural home.
Greenvale is conveniently very close by the Tullamarine freeway, and Ring Rd so being close to city becomes irrelevant when you can be in the city in literally 25 minutes.
Greenvale is serene and lovely with striking landscaping. I love the leafy area here and yet is close all facilities, great local private and state schools and local shops. It's also a very short drive (less than 10 minutes ) to major shopping complexes.
Love the other side of Greenvale.....those multi million dollars properties with massive sweeping cirular driveways, big front and back yards with pools and tennis courts. This is why Greenvale is the "Toorak of the North" Greenvale is always prestige always serene and beautiful! Wow factor!!!!.
Greenvale is home to some of Melbourne's large and grand mansions. Driving down most of the roads in Greenvale, you will see great street presence-A mixure of prestigious and grand mansions, great modern townhouses and well-maintained manicured gradens of older properties.

Not very accurate regarding getting onto the freeway. I've lived here and it's a nightmare on Mikelham Rd at the best of times. 5 minutes to freeway? Add a few more minutes and then some at peak hour.
Agree with above, Michelham Rd is in dire need of widening. With all the new estates going up (block sizes 400sqm) traffic is out of control peak hour. Often could take 20-30mins to the freeway
it takes about 6-7 minutes off peak and about 10 minutes during peak to the entrance of the Tulla fwy If I drive into the city if I leave home (in Greenvale) no later that 7.15am I'm in the city abut 7.45 - 7.50 am
John. the GRA (Greenvale Resident's Association , Hume Council and local state members office are currently advocating for the dupplicatin of Mickleham & Somerton Rds
JoF fingers cross for the duplication of Mickelham Rd because something needs to be done to address the traffic. In my experience Greenvale hasn't been a nice place to live considering the thousands of new homes and residents going in to the new estates. A high school wouldn't go a stray either. Now that Greenvale residents are out of the zone of many of the Catholic and private schools in Essendon, our choice isn't large. I'm considering moving closer in and around Oak Park/ Pascoe Vale area. Great block sizes and traffic isn't an issue with good transport. Train, and bus services and a lot easier to get onto the Tullamarine freeway. I just hope it can stay affordable for a little longer I fear it won't be like many of its cousins ( Strathmore and Essendon) Thanks for the info.
a growth in new housing estates has no relevance if living here is or isn't a great place to live. I have been here for 26 years and i love it hear along with so many other residents. People pay a fortune to come and live here and will continue to get more expensive due to the high demand here and the close / strategic location. 10 mins from major centres
Did yo know that Greenvale has a very good 484 bus service to both Broadmeadows & Roxburgh Park shopping centers and train stations? Roxy train station is literally 5 mins away. it is very easy to get on the Tulla Fwy. prior to 7.30am. Naturally after this time, anywhere in Melbourne it will be bumper to bumper.
Hi all, any feedback would be great. Being near Melbourne Airport, is this anywhere near a flight path?
flight path is 5 mins down the road in Attwood. Greenvale is safe form a aircraft noise perspective you hardly hear the planes.. It is very very occasionly.
Did yo know that Greenvale has a very good 484 bus service to both Broadmeadows & Roxburgh Park .
Also new bus service 543 servicing new Greenvale estates, ( Greenvale Gardens & Providence) through to the Greenvale Village Shopping centre then to Roxburgh Park shopping centre and train station
Hi Guys,
I am currently evaluating different suburbs to buy a house. I have had a good feedback about Greenvale. I would love to have some feedback from you on this please. I will be moving in with my wife and 2 years old kid. My primary evaluation criteria is -
1. Safety
2. Good schools/Medical/Shopping facilities
I can still manage the travel even if it get a bit of time to hit the freeway.
I would love to hear from you guys.
Thanks,
Ritu
