I have lived in Keilor Downs for 30 years. My parents bought a block in the 1980s, built their dream home, and still live there. Indeed, this is the story for most of the residents. I have also now bought in Keilor Downs. My decision to do so was an easy one, given how well I knew the suburb.
Where else in Melbourne can you buy 650m2 of land, with a beautiful brick veneer house, surrounded by trees and birds, with lovely neighbours, all within a 30 minute train ride to the city for less than $750k? With multiple parks, traditional Milk Bars, and an outstanding Shopping Centre, Keilor Downs literally has it all.
In my opinion, the best part of Keilor Downs is the section wedged between Keilor Plains Railway Station and the Shopping Centre, given that you can walk to both; but houses in this part are hard to come by so if one comes along, you should do your best to get in!
Another relevant factor is the low density nature of the suburb. St Albans (neighbouring suburb) is quickly becoming "flat central"; but Keilor Downs has retained its almost country-style charm.
