Old world feel in the heart of Balwyn.

Maleela Avenue is a very wide street with some beautiful, older style 1930’s homes. It’s a concrete road which gives it an old world feel (rather than modern asphalt) and there are a number of new homes being built. Many of the older homes in the street will no doubt be demolished to make way for th...

Nice quiet street backing onto Belmore Park

Chatfield Ave is a small street with no more than 20 homes. Downward slope crossing Oakdale Avenue. Many non-descript houses with the main feature being it's proximity to Belmore Park, Camberwell Grammar school and Mont Albert Road/Burke Road.

Great access to Deepdene Park

Across the road from the park, Crest Avenue, is a very steep street, tree lined with zero traffic issues. Very quiet and leafy. A mix of older 70's style homes, good size blocks, none with fences with a new home being build mid-way down the street. Beautiful white mansion on the corner of Oakdale. F...

Older style street, lots of units.

Peverill St, Balwyn is a quiet street surprisingly given location to busy Burke Road. No Sanding signs limit the volume of cars parked. Houses include quite a few units and older style 50's and 60's era homes.

There is no right hand turning onto Burke Road so you must turn left at the end which...

Beatiful street, mansions and older homes.

Deepdene Road, Balwyn is a cut through between Mont Albert Road and Whitehorse Road, has a number of newer mansions on the street. Lots of traffic up towards the OLGC School (Whitehorse Road end) which cause havoc and on Sundays when church is on. Turning right onto Whitehorse Road can be a struggle...

A perfect street to raise a family

Fantastic area to live, close to private schools and inner city living. Many parks for walking or playing with kids.
