Hillside

This gently sloping suburb has a population of 15,000 and is known for its plane tree-lined streets planted during Hillside’s farming days. Future growth is expected to be steady as people discover this hidden gem is perfect for a growing family. Residents describe the area as clean, safe and close to all the facilities needed for modern living. Although Hillside is located 23 kilometres north west of Melbourne, the drive into the city is scenic and only takes 30 minutes. As Hillside is bounded by the Melton Highway in the north, and Calder Park Drive in the east, accessibility is assured.

Within Hillside, the estate of Bellevue can be seen from several kilometres away and contains a large water tower or “The Golf Ball” (as it’s known to Hillside locals). Another notable landmark in Hillside is the large radio transmission towers between Sydenham and St Albans and the local landmark, the Sugargum Hotel.
