3rd April 2019 / Robin Waterbury: Welcome to Warrandyte

Renowned for its picturesque, natural bushland and rich Australian heritage as one of the state's foremost destinations during the days of the Victorian gold rush, there's more than a few reasons why Warrandyte is the perfect place to call home in 2019.

Located just 30km outside the CBD, Warrandyte is a north-eastern suburb of Melbourne, forming part of the City of Manningham district.

Boasting the best of a country, village lifestyle with added urban conveniences, Director of Fletchers Warrandyte, Robin Waterbury, says it's the 'sense of community' that makes Warrandyte a great place to settle down. 'Warrandyte also has a great outdoor lifestyle which is perfect for families and adventurers who enjoy kayaking, horse riding, bike riding and walking trails.'

With the style of homes in Warrandyte demonstrating a 'really eclectic mix' of 'modest miner's cottages, modernist-inspired, mid-century styles and arts and crafts mudbrick homes', Robin says the more recently manicured acreages have been tended to by local builders who follow broader trends towards open plan living.

Sitting at a current median house price of $1,205,000, the REA Group has reported an annual compound growth rate of 9.1% for the area. Coupled with a high rental demand and an average rent of $665 per week, it seems that Warrandyte is an ideal location for those wanting to relocate to a 'tree change locale'.
