Mont Albert real estate

Mont Albert train station and the Village shopping centre are at the heart of this small select suburb of only about 5,000 residents with a typical house and land value of $900,000.

A small suburb known for the most part to be home to one of the loveliest streets in Melbourne – Mont Albert Road. The road runs through the middle of the suburb - and trams run along Whitehorse Road on the northern boundary. The suburb really took off in 1916 when the tram line was extended up to Union Road – shops and services soon followed.

Mont Albert Road runs in a straight line mostly under a canopy of trees that reach out from either side of the road to form a crown.

Starting from Elgar Road – a stone’s throw from the TAFE College, the bustling Whitehorse shopping plaza and Box Hill train station - the road runs in a westerly direction through three suburbs and terminates at the bustling Burke Road retail precinct. So there is activity at both ends – and tranquillity in the middle.

The typical Mont Albert residence is set well back from the road on a large allotment. Mostly they are well-maintained homes of 50 or 100 years old and some from the 19th century. You will find original features of timber, leadlight glass and ornate plaster ceilings in rooms with high ceilings in homes of solid brick.

Mont Albert Primary State School and Our Holy Redeemer Catholic Primary School are within the suburb and Camberwell Grammar School is further down Mont Albert Road.

One of the loveliest suburbs to live in and have access to freeway, train, bus and tram lines.
