Surrounded by lush countryside and less than an hour’s drive from the heart of the city, Melbourne’s west offers buyers the best of both worlds.

Perhaps you’re after wide open spaces now that you don’t have to work in the city every day, want more bang for your buck, or simply yearn for a better lifestyle – there are plenty of good reasons to consider a move outside the CBD. And few areas present better options than Melbourne’s west.

With driving commute times between 40 minutes and an hour, suburbs like Lara, Truganina, Tarneit and Deanside let you enjoy all the benefits of a regional lifestyle, with picturesque scenery, great schools, a warm, community vibe and fantastic amenities, while still being within easy reach of the CBD.

And with much lower prices than the CBD, moving to these areas could help you get into the property market sooner if you’re a first-time buyer. Or, it might allow you to upgrade from a tiny apartment to a spacious family home with that extra bedroom or living space you’ve long dreamed about – plus a spacious backyard for the kids to run around in.

There are plenty of good reasons to consider a move outside the CBD. And few areas present better options than Melbourne’s west.

Convenience and lifestyle

You don’t need to go far to enjoy the finer things in life – Melbourne’s western suburbs boast great shopping amenities, cafes, restaurants, and a plethora of quality educational facilities for children of all ages.

Deanside is just 32km from Melbourne CBD, which means you can enjoy a fresh-air lifestyle and still be in the heart of the city in around 30 minutes by car. Planning a trip? Melbourne Airport is only a 20-minute drive! And it’s just five minutes from the bustling suburb of Caroline Springs, which has an abundance of retail, dining and entertainment opportunities.

Lara is one of Victoria’s loveliest small towns. It has a unique, old-world charm while still offering all the modern conveniences we’ve come to expect today, such as quality schools, top supermarkets and great eateries. It is a 15-minute drive to Geelong, one of Victoria’s best-loved destinations, and an easy 50-minute commute by car or train to Melbourne CBD.

If quality education and facilities are priorities for your family, Tarneit is a great suburb to consider. It has a wide range of great public and private schools nearby, plus there is zoning for a future public primary school within Newhaven Estate itself. It is an easy 50-minute commute to the Melbourne CBD by car or rail, and boasts established shopping centres, sports grounds and parks.

Located between two established suburbs – Caroline Springs and Melton South – the suburb of Truganina is just 25km from Melbourne CBD and a stress-free 30- to 40-minute commute by car or rail (the Western Freeway and Ring Road are just four minutes away). It offers everything to make life easy and carefree, including shopping at nearby Westfield Town Centre, lush open space and extensive parklands for the kids to get outside and active.
