Alphington
This primarily residential suburb has become highly popular with those seeking a pleasant location only 7 km north-east from the CBD.
Residences include 1970s brick veneer, recently-built townhouses, renovated homes as well as period weatherboards. A great blend of families, professional people and the elderly enjoy a suburb that is bounded by the Yarra River in the south and the Darebin Creek in the east. Tracts of green open space give way to native flora, thanks to a strong re-vegetation campaign that has also seen the return of native fauna to the area.
