Upwey

"Converted to the hills life 👌"

My boyfriend and I bought our first home in Upwey almost 2years ago, and now we are converted hills people. Its forest meets urban, family friendly, pet friendly, neighborly / community orientated.
The only problems we have had is building permits as there are lots of landslip overlays. Can be very wet and chilly in winter - coonara's are a must have! Summers are cooler than inner city suburbs. Public transportation needs work however parking at train stations is easy, just bare in mind it is a max of 1hour 4mins to city 53mins express.
We could easily move to a larger house in belgrave/selby as suburbs in area are very close to one another. And you get a beautiful unique house with plenty of land for a very affordable price.
