Briar Hill Property Market
& Suburb Profile

The housing character is defined by a pleasant mix of established brick homes, renovated family residences, and some contemporary townhouse and unit developments, often set on generous block sizes with mature gardens and leafy outlooks.

The suburb benefits from a strong sense of self-containment, with a small local village centre providing essential shops, cafes, and services, while more comprehensive retail and dining options are easily accessible just minutes away at Greensborough Plaza and the popular Were Street precinct in Montmorency.

Briar Hill’s appeal to families is cemented by the presence of well-regarded local schools, including Briar Hill Primary School and Sherbourne Primary School, with Montmorency Secondary College also within a short distance, ensuring excellent educational access.

Connectivity is well-supported by local bus services running through the area, and proximity to Greensborough train station provides a direct and viable commuting option into the city, while car travel is swift via nearby major roads and the Metropolitan Ring Road.

For investors, the suburb’s enduring popularity as a family haven, coupled with its excellent location within the City of Banyule and consistent rental demand, provides a stable market for both houses and the low-maintenance unit product.
