Diggers Rest Property Market
& Suburb Profile

Historically significant as a stopping place during the Gold Rush era and famous for the site of Harry Houdini's first controlled powered flight in Australia, the area maintains a strong sense of community and is surrounded by picturesque parklands and nature reserves, including the Holden Flora and Fauna Reserve.

The housing market is diverse, featuring older properties on larger blocks alongside numerous new master-planned estates like Alexander Park and Watsons Reach, which provide contemporary homes and integrated community facilities, driving a population growth well above the national average.

Connectivity is exceptional for its location, boasting its own dedicated Diggers Rest Train Station on the Sunbury line, providing a direct and efficient rail link to the city, complemented by immediate vehicular access to the Calder Freeway.

Education is supported by the established Diggers Rest Primary School and proximity to comprehensive amenities, including major retail centres and secondary schools in nearby Sunbury and Watergardens.

For investors and buyers, Diggers Rest represents a high-potential market where its affordability, ongoing infrastructure upgrades (including road and future community centres), and strategic transport links ensure robust long-term demand and value appreciation.
