Belgrave and the surrounding suburbs are simply wonderful!

It's the beginning of the Dandenong Ranges National Park, so you got all the wildlife and bushwalks at your doorsteps. There are awesome restaurants and cafes everywhere and a couple of nice pubs/bars for entertainment. Off traffic, the drive to the city via either Burwood Highway, Wellington Road/Princess Hwy or the M1 is just 40 minutes or the train just takes under an hour.

It's super family friendly and has a great community spirit. There is still enough privacy as the neighbour's house is very likely too far away to actually bother you (most block of lands are 1000-1500 sqms and higher).

There are heaps of job opportunities in various industries less than 30 minutes drive from Belgrave direction to the city.

It's probably one of the best value for money suburbs regardless if you are buying or renting, and even in a falling market Belgrave has been increasing in value as there is very limited supply of houses. People have been moving from all over the place over the last couple of years and there are more and more young couples with young children who are still fulfilling the Aussie dream of home ownership without being a slave to the banks for their whole life.
