"Best Park Facing street - Great for families"

This is a closed street around the famous Olrig Park and all houses are facing the park. As this is a closed street there is not fast moving traffic and this area is super quiet. You get top quality views as this is a very green area with maturing trees and there are plenty of them. A private school is just 50 meters away and two bus stops at both ends of the street. There are two buses servicing this area and are 15 minutes apart. Mt. Ridley college is just less than a km away and the Highlands Hotel and Shopping centre is also within a walking distance. Hume highway is only a 1 kms away and the fast speed ADSL2+ is available too.
Really I find this a very clean and best street in Craigieburn with a great neighborhood feel about it.

  • Good Neighbours
  • Acess to schools and recreation

Who lives here?

"A growing suburb with good transport connections"

I moved to Craigieburn Highlands in 2006 when I build my house here. I was newly married without any kids and my rationale for this selection was that Craigieburn has many transport options to go to any direction. There is Hume Highway, Hume Freeway and Mickleham Road which provides multiple options for residents to connect to different suburbs.
Craigieburn train station opened a few years ago adding another commuting option to CBD.
In last 6 years the population of Craigieburn has grown quickly and so does the facilities. There are 3 new schools opened in Highlands in last 6 years, including a Christian school, a primary school and a high school. While shopping options are limited but Stockland's new shopping centre provides some new shopping facilities with good parking options. This also allows Highlanders to shop within Highlands without going to Craigieburn shopping centre.
There are many bus routes now operating in Highlands.
Parks and street landscaping within Highlands is very good and really distinguishes it from other areas.
Now we have two kids and they are going to school and child care and getting a place for them was not a big issue. The distance to these facilities is less than a kilometer which means we can have a walk or a short car drive every day.
We are eagerly awaiting for the Craigieburn Town Centre which will provide the much awaited shopping options to Craigieburn. Once completed there will be no need for us to go to Epping or Broadmeadows for any big item shoppings.

Great for

  • Growing school options
  • Good dentist and GP options
  • Bigger houses! more space to live and for kids to play
  • Fantastic Family Parks
  • The place is very beautiful and the houses are new and at affordable prices!
  • Great Library Facilities
  • Safe neighbourhood

Not great for

  • Hoons and renters with loud music and car noise
  • Waiting for the shopping centre! it is the only thing Craigieburn lack at this time otherwise its a great suburb to live in.

Who lives here?

  • Families with kids
  • Retirees
