Suburb profile
Dalyenong is a residential smaller community in Northern Grampians with a familiar suburban feel. Distance from the capital is noticeable, but the trade-off is space, calm and a community that knows its neighbours. A mature community gives the area a calm, settled social fabric.
Weekends tend to revolve around local favourites: a café, a market run, a walk through town. Housing is well-priced for what you get: space, location and everyday convenience.
This is a mature, settled pocket where the existing streetscape still defines the local character.
