Hawthorn East real estate
Hawthorn East started in 1880 and was originally a brick-making area.
Many of its parks are on the sites of former quarries which were filled-in by them becoming tips and then parkland.
The largest park in Hawthorn East is the Fritsch Holzer Park named after the brothers who formed the Upper Hawthorn Brick Company in 1883 - employed 50 people and produced 250,000 bricks per week! The Hawthorn brick is still the most popular style of brick all over Melbourne.
The suburb has a large selection of government and private schools. Primary and secondary schools and nearby are Alia College, Auburn and Auburn South primary schools and Hawthorn Secondary College.
The many bus, tram and train stations make it easy to access a further sixteen schools and colleges within 4 km radius!
The suburb is roughly bounded by Barkers Road to the north, Burke Road to the east, Toorak Road and the Monash Freeway to the south, and Auburn Road to the west.
The Tower Hotel and the heritage Rivoli cinema are both landmarks of the area but you will also find seven parks/reserves, five playgrounds, bowls club, Aus kick, and scouts for this small suburb which only has about 13 or 14,000 of a population and house prices around the million dollar mark.
