Alphington, located just 6km from Melbourne’s CBD, has long been a hidden gem, often overshadowed by its more well-known neighbours in Kew and Ivanhoe.
The suburb features stunning period and modern homes, along with low maintenance apartments and townhouses, plus wide, leafy, tree lined streets, which add to its charm, making it an attractive choice for a wide range of buyers. As of 2025, Alphington has seen consistent price growth over the past five years, reflecting its growing appeal. The development of the Yarra Bend Estate and the transformation of the former Alphington Paper Mill into residential properties have significantly raised the suburb’s profile.
With easy access to the freeway, proximity to the city, and a flourishing retail and hospitality scene, Alphington offers the perfect blend of lifestyle and convenience. Alphington also boasts access to the nearby Darebin Creek and expansive Darebin Parklands, providing beautiful walking and cycling trails. Station Street shops and a dedicated train station make everyday living even easier. For families, Alphington is close to elite private schools, adding further appeal to this already desirable location.
