Balwyn North real estate

Balwyn North 11 km east from Melbourne's central business district has well over 20,000 of a population in an area of about 9 square kilometres. The North West part of the suburb is known as Bellevue and the South East part is Greythorn (which is home to the Greythorn Shopping Centre on Doncaster Road).

There are several schools – famously Balwyn High School on Buchanan Avenue and many other fine schools such as Greythorn, Balwyn North, Bellevue, Boroondara Park, St Bridget's and St. Bede's.

The main shopping strip is 'The Village' on Doncaster Road, east of the intersection with Bulleen Road.

Bicycle tracks connect with the Main Yarra Trail, along the Yarra River and the Eastern Freeway. Tram route 48 passes through Balwyn North, running along Doncaster Road and terminating at the intersection with Balwyn Road, although proposals have been made to extend it as far as Doncaster Shoppingtown.

A number of bus routes connect Balwyn North with suburbs such as Box Hill, Doncaster and Templestowe. Also, a number of freeway bus services have stops at the entrance of the Eastern Freeway on the northern edge of the suburb.

Balwyn North (commonly known as 'North Balwyn') was one of the first Melbourne suburbs to be developed according to the pattern of post-war suburbia, with expansive, quiet residential areas designed as family homes and relatively few business districts.
