9th May 2019 / Beth Oleyar: Keeping Up With Canterbury

Graced by stunning historical buildings, leafy green streets and immaculately kept homes, Canterbury is one of Melbourne's best kept secrets.

Located just 10km outside of Melbourne CBD, Canterbury is home to some of Victoria's most prestigious schools and elusive, multi-million dollar homes. With Strathcona, Fintona and Camberwell Grammar just around the corner, residents are also treated to a wonderful range of shopping centres, including the famously character-filled, Maling Road precinct.

Regarded as one of Melbourne's most expensive suburbs, the median price for a 3-bedroom home in Canterbury currently sits at just over $1.8 million.

Particularly renowned for the 'Golden Mile', Canterbury offers a top-notch, tree-lined locale between Mont

Albert Road, Balwyn Road and avenues connecting to Canterbury Road, which is said to feature a selection of elite, grand mansions belonging to notable politicians and industry leaders.

According to Domain, 'its top houses can fetch upwards of $7 million'.

Enjoyed by many, the average age of its 8,000+ residents sit between 40 – 59 years of age, which is made up of 58% families and 79% home owners.

With a star-studded presence, this exceptionally popular suburb located within the City of Boroondara is lucky enough to feature a mix of traditional architecture and new, contemporary design.

Featuring the very best Melbourne has to offer, we certainly recommend a trip to Canterbury for a Sunday stroll amongst its beautiful parks and gardens, a boutique shopping spree or casual dining experience at one of its fabulous cafes for lunch or breakfast.
