Croydon North, VIC 3136

Beautiful suburb away from the hustle and bustle of inner Melbourne but still connected to the rest of the city. Gateway to the Yarra Valley and the picturesque Yarra River. Quiet and friendly community with good amenities and parks.

It's a hidden gem! With developments happening in Ringwood, next boom will be Croydon North. Access to shops and restaurants is excellent. Very close to eastern freeway and Maroondah highway. Lots of parks and reservoirs in the area. Very nice place for families with kids.

Croydon North is a peaceful and rustic pocket, hedged between Wonga Park, Croydon Hills and Chirnside Park. It has larger blocks and well presented homes and it is just a short drive to Eastlink or the Maroondah Highway and has village style shops and high quality schools including Yarra Valley Grammar within walking distance. The area has wandering hills and lots of walking tracks along the creeks and reserves. We moved here 2 years ago and love the lifestyle. There are plenty of families in the area and on the weekend you can easily get to Warrandyte, the Yarra Glen wineries or Eastland Shopping town depending on your preference. The area is ideal for families and empty nesters. The area is also a great investment as house prices have risen dramatically in early 2010 and as Melbourne's population grows, areas like this with larger blocks and homes will become more and more desirable. Equivalent suburbs in Sydney (where we moved here from) are full of seven figure homes now. It is also dog friendly with lot's of doggy friendly reserves.

Borola Court is a nice and quiet place. Neighbour are friendly,nice and helpful.Good and safe locaton for kids. Aot of green and reserve area. Easy and good transport facilities. The East link provide a quick route to city . good for families with kids and retirees.

Croydon North is a smaller town outside of Croydon and Croydon Hills with almost 8,000 residents. Based 30km from Melbournes CBD, it is an ideal location for families and professionals who work in the city but want to come home to the suburbs to escape the rat race.

Other neighbouring tows include Wonga Park and Croydon Hills.

Parks, lakes and wildlife, this is a wonderful spot to be. There are a lot of parks and reserves making this a great spot for those that love a walk among the trees. It also has one of the best vibes you could find anywhere in Melbourne. But that’s because it has what I'm looking for.
Families will love the proximity to schools and kindergartens.
There is a Centro not far away so you can get everything you need without having to venture too far away.
Safe tree lined streets make it a great spot for kids, and you don't have to worry about your cats or dogs getting hit either.
It’s not going to be the ideal spot for young professionals or couples unless you like the quiet life and don't mind not having the restaurants, cafes and abundant nightlife you can get in other suburbs.

A great suburb with a great feel to it.
The area is well serviced by public transport getting you to where you need to go. It’s not a bad commute to the city either if you work in the CBD.
There is the Chirnside Park Shopping complex not far away so if you can't get it around the corner, just take the next corner, it’s that close.
For families there are schools within walking distance and for those with younger children, there is childcare close by as well. This makes living here very convenient.
Safe streets and with parks close by make this a great family location.
But if you're looking for nightlife and masses of restaurants perhaps this isn't the spot for you.

Nestled between Plymouth Road and Yarra Road this quiet and undulating pocket is the gateway to the bush. Peaceful and winding, each court has its own personality and almost all of them are metres from a reserve. Although it is one of Melbourne's smaller little suburbs it has a vast amount of green, open space with 4 reserves and many little parks scattered around. They include Narr-Maen Reserve, Yarrunga Reserve, Candlebark Walk and Settlers Orchard Reserve. Croydon Hills Primary School and Luther College are the only school within the suburb, however Yarra Valley Grammer, Melbourne's Rudolf Steiner School, Warranwood Primary School and Yarra Road Primary School all abut the main Croydon Hills arterials.

A Telebus runs through Croydon Hills and a Connex bus service runs along Plymouth and Yarra Roads, Bemboka Rd, Narr-Maen Drive, Campaspe and Croydon Hills Drives.

McAdam Square, just across from Luther College, is close and Centro Croydon is a short drive or bus trip keeping everyone well serviced.
