North Geelong Property Market
& Suburb Profile

Situated approximately 5 kilometres from the Geelong CBD, it offers a diverse community atmosphere and competitive property values, making it an attractive choice for families, first-home buyers, and professionals seeking proximity to the city and transport links.

The suburb is one of contrasts, seamlessly blending established residential areas with pockets of significant commercial and industrial activity. Housing is predominantly made up of established, older-style homes, many dating from the mid-20th century, on traditional blocks, with more recent development focusing on unit and townhouse construction.

The area is diverse, with a close-knit community feeling, and features a higher proportion of residents with overseas-born parents than the Geelong average. Residents benefit from easy access to local shopping strips, including those on Separation Street, and the cosmopolitan cafes and boutiques of nearby Pakington Street in Geelong West.

Key local parks include Osborne Park, home to the historic Osborne House, sporting ovals, and the Geelong Maritime Museum, and the Cowies Creek public wetlands, which offer boardwalks and nature reserves. North Geelong also has a strong sporting identity, being home to the North Geelong Warriors FC, and is serviced by schools like North Geelong Secondary College, while being in close proximity to the highly regarded Kardinia International College.

North Geelong’s location is one of its greatest assets, particularly its role as a key transport and logistics hub. The suburb features its own North Geelong Railway Station, providing convenient V/Line access on the Geelong line to the CBD and Melbourne. Excellent road links, including the Princes Freeway (A1), ensure rapid travel to Melbourne and other regional centres. The area has a long-standing industrial and manufacturing heritage and continues to host major commercial operations. Notably, the Spirit of Tasmania ferry terminal operates out of the local port, connecting Victoria with Tasmania, underscoring the suburb's economic importance.

The property market in North Geelong generally offers a more accessible entry point into the Greater Geelong housing market than closer suburbs like Geelong West or Newtown, while still retaining excellent proximity to the city.

The median house sale price is affordabile compared to the wider region and there's a strong rental demand. North Geelong is great for value buyers seeking proximity to the Geelong CBD and North Shore employment zones without the inner-suburb price tag, commuters needing excellent rail and freeway access to Melbourne and the rest of Geelong, and established families who appreciate the community atmosphere, local schools, and ample parklands.
