Why Melbourne’s Northern Suburbs Are Booming for Homebuyers

Melbourne’s northern suburbs have long been championing a lifestyle that blends space, convenience, and connection.

Established areas like Sunbury are celebrated for their wineries, access to nature, and charming Victorian-era architecture, all while offering an easy 40-minute train ride to the heart of the city.

Meanwhile, growing suburbs like Wollert sit alongside long-standing hubs such as Epping and Craigieburn, where shopping, dining, and entertainment thrive. Major road and rail links ensure that families here aren’t just settling into these vibrant estates—they’re staying connected to everything Melbourne has to offer.

Now, new estates are bringing fresh opportunities to call the north home. Redstone Estate in Sunbury and Aurora Estate in Wollert are two communities designed to build on the region’s already thriving lifestyle. Read on to discover what makes them standout places to live.

Redstone Estate, Sunbury

Surrounded by the stunning Sunbury hills, Redstone Estate offers the best of both worlds—scenic beauty and urban convenience. Just a short drive from Melbourne Airport and within easy reach of the CBD by rail, it’s perfectly positioned for both commuters and weekend explorers, with the Macedon Ranges right on its doorstep.

Adjacent to the planned town centre, construction on Club Redstone is set to commence. This exclusive resident hub is designed to bring the community together, offering a fully equipped gym, swimming pool, activity courts, BBQ areas, and a café. Whether you’re staying active, unwinding, or socialising, Redstone will make every day feel like a country retreat.
