Always wanted to live in this leafy pocket of Melbourne and were lucky to get into the house market during the 2019 price drop. We wanted to start a family and Greensborough had so much to offer such as multiple walking tracks/parks, lovely neighbours, public transport, shops and the main reason schools!

Be aware though there are many pockets of Greensborough due to the freeway,rivers and parks and depending where you pick has pros and cons. So I tried to do a little quick summary of the main pockets:
-Apollo parkways primary area Negatives are very reliant on using only 3 rds- plenty river drv (giveway both ways to exit) diamond Creek Rd and the bypass. It's harder to get in and out of during peak times. Some parts are extremely hilly to walk. Positives are great primary schools close by, library, basketball stadium, very leafy especially down by the river.
Oh and be aware that this area is in a different council to the rest of Greensborough.
- Greenhills area. Negatives can't think of any really? Positives are great primary school, leafy, larger blocks and houses, nature reserve in the middle.
- Delta and Hendry St area (the main bulk of the suburb) negatives are higher crime area and not as leafy as its more suburbia. Positives are very connected and closer to CBD and infrastructure, Watsonia Heights primary is actually in Greensborough and located here.
- Booyan cres area. Negatives are one way in and out, not walking distance to anything really. Positives are great walking tracks around it and foot access to neighbouring Bundoora.
- Kalparrin area. Negatives are 2 ways in and out. Positives are kalparrin gardens, walking distance or 5min drive to all major facilities and infrastructure. Connected to watsonia north via road and paths.
