Good suburbs for families

Burnside Heights and Taylors Hill are among Australia’s premier suburbs for family living according to a new report.

The Property Credit report named Burnside Heights the second best suburb to raise a family in Victoria, and Taylors Hill the sixth best.

The report described Taylors Hill as boasting lush landscapes and community amenities within reach of Melbourne’s hub ensuring families have access to nature’s tranquillity and urban sophistication.

According to the report, the average median sale price for houses is $755,500 in Burnside Heights and $891,000 in Taylors Hill.

The report said this research sifted through extensive market data to select 20 standout suburbs that offer the perfect concoction of affordability, community ethos and access to urban amenities, conducive to family dynamics.

According to the report, the chosen suburbs exemplify an ideal mix of suburban tranquillity and urban proximity, ensuring families can enjoy a peaceful lifestyle while still remaining connected to the vibrant heart of the city.

Property credit chief executive Giordano Stepancic said electing a family home is a decision that transcends the physical space.

“It’s about choosing a community, investing in a lifestyle, and considering the legacy we leave for our children,” he said.

“Our report is meticulously designed to guide families towards suburbs that are not just places to live but spaces where life’s best moments can unfold.“
