A Suburb on the Rise

If you’ve been watching Melbourne’s outer suburbs over the past few years, you’ll know the trend: more people are looking for space, a sense of community, and better long-term value. Sunbury is one suburb that continues to stand out. Sunbury offers the kind of lifestyle that’s becoming more sought after. It’s peaceful, spacious and connected, without the pace and density of inner Melbourne. As more families and professionals look outward, the appeal is only getting stronger – so why is Sunbury an ideal place to live?

Growing Population and Increasing Amenity

Sunbury is part of one of Victoria’s fastest-growing growth corridors, with the local population expected to continue rising in the coming years. With growth comes investment, and that’s already visible in the evolving town centre, expanding dining and retail options, and improvements in community services such as schools and childcare.

Connected to the City, Without the City Pace

One of Sunbury’s biggest drawcards is how well it balances space and connection. The suburb sits around 35 minutes from the Melbourne CBD and is close to Melbourne Airport, making travel and commuting practical. Major transport routes and public transport options make it easy to stay linked without living in the middle of the city.

More Space and Greater Housing Choice

Housing choice is another key advantage. Compared to inner and middle Melbourne, buyers can secure larger homes, outdoor space and modern layouts while still remaining within reach of the city. For many, this means being able to build or buy the kind of home they actually want, instead of compromising on size or layout due to price pressure.

A Welcoming and Active Community

Sunbury also has a strong community feel. Local cafes, family businesses, weekend markets, sporting clubs and green open spaces give the suburb a welcoming atmosphere. It’s a place where people know their neighbours, kids can ride their bikes, and weekends feel relaxed.

Looking Ahead to 2026

The momentum is in Sunbury’s favour. Growth is active and visible, and further improvements to local infrastructure and amenities are underway. Buying in now allows residents to enjoy what’s already established, while being well-positioned to benefit from future investment.
Sunbury is not just expanding. It is evolving into a well-rounded, well-connected and highly liveable community. For those considering a move, 2026 may be the right moment to make Sunbury home. Check out our available Townhomes, and House/Land packages.
