Box Hill North Property Market
& Suburb Profile

The area was largely developed during the post-war boom of the 1950s, leaving a legacy of sturdy clinker brick homes and weatherboard cottages. Today, those original homes sit on generous blocks that are highly coveted by families, though you’ll increasingly see sleek, modern "dual-occ" townhouses appearing as developers make the most of the suburb’s mid-sized allotments and proximity to major amenities.

What really makes Box Hill North work is its balance of "quiet" and "connected." It’s a bit of a local secret that you get the benefits of Box Hill’s incredible dining scene and transport hub without having to live in the middle of the traffic. The suburb is bounded by the Koonung Creek Trail to the north, providing miles of walking and cycling tracks that make you forget the Eastern Freeway is right next door.

Education is a massive priority for the local demographic; the suburb is home to the highly regarded Box Hill North Primary (which shares its grounds with a popular kindergarten) and falls within or near the zones for Koonung Secondary College and Box Hill High.

Whether you’re grabbing a coffee at the Kerrimuir shops or taking the kids to the playground at Elgar Park, Box Hill North feels like a place that has managed to hold onto its suburban soul while the rest of the city grows up around it.
