LISTING DETAILS

LOCATION

This leafy and well established suburb is a combination of stately older homes in leafy residential areas and new modern estates in the outer region.

The area is well equipped with a vast array of shops and services in the main street as well as the nearby Fountain Gate Shopping Centre.

When it comes to education, Berwick is fit to burst with primary and secondary schools, private schools, a TAFE and a campus of Monash University

All located only a quick 40 minute drive from the CBD via the Monash Freeway.

LOCAL RESIDENTS OPINION

"A very quiet, leafy and clean area with easy access to many nice cafe's, restaurants, shops, bars and parks in the Berwick Village.

There are many beautiful homes from various periods throughout history located within the Berwick Hoddle Grid, there are also some extremely impressive newer homes located around the top of Berwick around Beaumont rd, Old Coach rd, Casey dr, Caserta dr and Buchanan rd (You can expect to pay around $2-5 million for homes in these areas).

It is quite a hilly area, particularly the further north you are, but this makes for fantastic views which extend all the way to Port Phillip Bay.

There are some top performing schools in Berwick including Haileybury College, St Margaret's and Nossal which are all in the top 25 schools in Melbourne.

It is also worth mentioning that Berwick has a number of hospitals including the fantastic St John of God hospital which my family has personally had an amazing experience with.

I would say that Berwick is probably not ideal for commuters travelling to the CBD in peak hour, but from my experience working in the city If I leave before the peak hour traffic then I can get to the city in 35 minutes. If you are considering moving to Berwick and want to get a feel for the area then here are my recommendations; go have dinner at Shanika's, have brunch at Primary at Pioneers, take a walk around Wilson botanic park and go to the Akoonah park market."
