"A hidden Gem- Fawkner"
🌟 Fawkner – Melbourne’s Hidden Gem! 🌟
Fawkner is one of Melbourne’s most underrated suburbs – but not for long! Just 12km from the CBD, with CityLink and the Ring Road at your doorstep, you’re minutes from Coburg, Brunswick, Preston, and even Pentridge Cinemas.
🏡 Affordable & Spacious – Family homes on generous 600sqm blocks often sell under $800k. Big backyards, four bedrooms, and room to grow – without the inner-north price tag.
🌳 Parks & Outdoors – Moomba Park offers dog runs, sports courts, and links to the Merri Creek. Two major bike tracks take you straight into the city.
💪 Lifestyle & Amenities – Coles, Officeworks, and the newly rebuilt Fawkner Leisure Centre with pools, gym, and group sports facilities. The library is modern, welcoming, and a great community hub.
🌍 Community Spirit – Bonwick Street reflects the suburb’s diversity, from Italian delis and Pakistani grocers to a vibrant LGBTIQ presence. Safe, quiet, and family-friendly.
🎓 Schools & Transport – A mix of improving local schools, two train stations, buses, trams nearby, plus bike tracks direct to the city.
💡 On the Rise – Merribek Council is investing heavily in the area. The only thing missing? More cafes and restaurants – making now the perfect time to move in before the secret gets out!
👉 Fawkner has it all – location, lifestyle, community, and value. The next big suburb to watch!
