Suburb profile

Set among the hills of Yarra Ranges, Gilderoy is a smaller community with bushland views and a cooler, leafier feel. Life revolves around the local community, with the wider region offering trips and services when needed. Elevated streets and bushland backdrops bring a sense of fresh country air to daily life.

A mature community gives the area a calm, settled social fabric. Housing is well-priced for what you get: space, location and everyday convenience.

The streetscape feels settled and established, with older homes giving the area a familiar, lived-in look.
