Located in the inner southeast of Melbourne, Malvern East is a residential suburb about half the area of the former Malvern city.

Considered a pic suburb, Malvern East is what many young family dreams of. It’s a neighbourhood that has maintained its village-like essence, appealing character and opulence.

A suburb favoured due to its larger blocks, exclusivity, boutique shopping, spectacular restaurants, leafy parklands, well-trimmed gardens and friendly community. A handful of well-known schools attract families to the area, along with the accessible commute into the CBD – but it’s the lifestyle that makes them stay.

For commuters to the CBD, this suburb services a variety of transportation alternatives, including the Darling and East Malvern railway stations. And if you prefer to commute by bike, Malvern East has a community bike path along Gardiners Creek, which connects the Greater Melbourne network of bike paths.
