Suburb profile

Allambee Reserve is a residential smaller community in Baw Baw with a familiar suburban feel. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. Long-term locals and family households define much of the community, with plenty of young families in the mix.

Housing is well-priced for what you get: space, location and everyday convenience. Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it.

This is a mature, settled pocket where the existing streetscape still defines the local character.
