Tucked into the heart of Sunbury, Maplestone has quickly grown into more than just a place to live. It is a neighbourhood defined by connection, green space, and a sense of belonging. While new homes continue to take shape and new families move in, what stands out most is the strong community spirit.

Whether it is the weekend walks through landscaped parks, the ease of daily life with everything close by, or the welcoming faces that make the streets feel friendly, Maplestone is a place where people genuinely love to live. Here are some of the things the community tells us they value most about life in this growing neighbourhood.

1. A Strong Sense of Belonging

One of the most common things residents mention is the feeling of community. Maplestone has been thoughtfully designed to foster connection. Wide, walkable streets, local green spaces and the future community centre are all helping people build genuine relationships with their neighbours.

There is something special about living in a place where a wave from across the road is part of your daily routine, and where kids safely ride bikes together after school. Families, couples and individuals alike say they feel like they are part of something, not just occupying a house, but living in a shared space with purpose.

2. Green Spaces at Every Turn

Access to nature is one of Maplestone’s standout features. Residents enjoy an abundance of parks, walking trails and open space right on their doorstep. Whether it is a morning jog, a family picnic, or simply time spent outdoors with the dog, the green spaces provide balance to busy lives.

The community is also looking forward to the delivery of future open spaces and sports facilities, which will bring even more options for recreation, relaxation and social connection. Having this kind of access to nature without sacrificing the convenience of urban life is part of what makes Maplestone feel so liveable.

3. Proximity to Everything That Matters

Maplestone offers a lifestyle that is both connected and convenient. Locals love how easy it is to get to where they need to go, whether that is local schools, shopping, or the Sunbury town centre. The Sunbury train station is only a short drive away, making the daily commute to Melbourne more manageable for those who work in the city.

Essential services, childcare, health care and schools are all nearby. This ease of access means residents spend less time in transit and more time enjoying where they live.

4. A Place That’s Evolving With Its People

One of the things that excites current residents is watching the community grow. New homes, new families and new amenities are shaping the character of the neighbourhood as it evolves.

People are invested in the future of Maplestone. They see the long-term potential and are proud to be part of the journey from the early stages. There is a shared enthusiasm for what’s to come, from new parks and schools to retail spaces and community hubs. This sense of progress is energising, and it keeps the community feeling fresh and full of promise.

5. Designed for Daily Life

Maplestone’s thoughtful planning is a big part of what makes it so enjoyable to live in. Homes are built with families in mind, with spacious layouts, modern design, and access to outdoor areas. Streets are calm and easy to navigate, and the overall layout supports walkability, safety and a strong neighbourhood feel.

The design of the estate reflects a focus on what people need and want in their everyday lives. From easy access to local parks to future plans for shops and schools, the Maplestone community continues to be shaped by the people who live here.

6. A Friendly, Down-to-Earth Vibe

Perhaps most importantly, people say they love the atmosphere. There is no pretense at Maplestone, just real people building real lives. It is a place where friendliness comes naturally and community is built from the ground up.

Neighbours help each other out, local Facebook groups are active and supportive, and events like local markets or park playdates bring people together. Whether you have lived in Sunbury for a few months or a few years, you are part of something genuine.

The Future is Bright at Maplestone

Maplestone is more than a housing development, it is a place where people are putting down roots. With thoughtful planning, green open spaces, and a community that cares, it is easy to see why so many locals love calling it home.

As the estate continues to grow, so too will the opportunities to connect, to thrive and to enjoy everything that makes this part of Sunbury so special.
