Having been a Bayside and fringe city dweller for 10+ years, moving 12km to the inner northeast of Heidelberg Heights was a daunting thought. How wrong I was. I've been here for nearly 4 years.
This area has and is still undergoing a lot of housing renovations/redevelopment so the look of the area is improving significantly and for those slow to move in, will miss out on reasonable prices and great price growth. The big plus, the median price in Heidelberg Heights sits ~$800K for 3br, key neighboring suburbs (Ivanhoe, Heidelberg, Preston), that price becomes ~$1-1.2+ million. The location is very central to all kinds of amenities.
The suburb sits right in the middle of Ivanhoe shops, Burgandy St shops, Northland, Rosanna and Macleod village shops, and Bell St businesses. Preston market and High St shops and nightlife is a short drive and Westfield Doncaster is 15-20mins away.
Austin Hospital and other medical businesses are only a few minutes drive away.
Latrobe Uni and sporting grounds are close by too.
The newly redeveloped Rosanna station is a short drive and only ~25min train ride to Flinders St Station.
The Haig Townhouse development on Haig St is the place to be, there is a lovely park in the middle of the development for family, friends, or community catch up and the adjoining Crate Coffee shop is a hidden gem. All-in-all, Heidelberg Height is a culturally rich and diverse mix of old originals, family-friendly and young professional residents who all make it feel like home and I couldn't be happier with how central it is to all things important.
