Nice area

Moved to Upwey 2 years ago, it's a great feeling driving up the hill and feeling the body relax. Go to sleep listening to the owls hoot and wake up to the cockatoo's and parrots. Would not live anywhere else.

Oh, and definitely get an inspection for white ants if you want to buy this way. They thrive in the suburbs round here.

Stunning views from many streets and amazing trees-scapes. Although the valley can echo a lot of noise so you can hear whipper snippers for much of the day. Good if you work in the Easter suburbs but too far for a city commute. Affordable.

It is a great suburb that offers both convenience and community feeling. Friendly neighborhood and clean air.

Such a friendly village, close enough to the city for work, but far enough away for leisure. Moved here in November from Richmond to start a family, best move ever!
