About Bayswater North
Welcome to Bayswater North
Bayswater North sits in Melbourne's outer east, roughly 30 kilometres from the CBD, tucked between the leafy pockets of Heathmont, Boronia, Croydon South, Kilsyth South and its namesake, Bayswater. It's a residential suburb built around the gentle slopes running up towards the Dandenong Ranges foothills, with wide streets, established gardens and a strong sense of being a family neighbourhood rather than a through-road or retail strip.
With a population of just over 9,000 and a median age of 38, it's a suburb that suits established families and downsizers as much as first-home buyers looking for space without the price tag of the inner east. The mix of quiet residential streets and easy access to bushland reserves gives it a settled, unhurried character that's become increasingly sought after.
Lifestyle & dining
Bayswater North doesn't have a bustling main street of its own, and that's very much the point — daily life here is quieter and more suburban, with residents heading to the cafes, pubs and takeaway strips of neighbouring Bayswater and Boronia for coffee runs and dinners out. The nearby foothills and reserves also mean weekend life often revolves around walking, cycling and getting outdoors rather than café culture, which suits residents who value a slower pace close to the city fringe.
Shopping
For day-to-day shopping, residents lean on the retail centres of Bayswater and Boronia, both a short drive away, which between them cover supermarkets, specialty stores and larger shopping centres. Croydon South and Heathmont add further options nearby, meaning locals rarely need to travel far for groceries, homewares or a bit of retail therapy, while bigger shopping trips are easily made to the larger hubs further along the Burwood Highway corridor.
Getting around
Bayswater North is well placed for commuters, with Bayswater railway station on the Belgrave line just over the border providing a direct run into the city, and Heathmont station on the Belgrave/Lilydale line offering an alternative option. Road access is straightforward too, with the Burwood Highway and Mountain Highway both close by, linking residents to the Eastern Freeway and onward into the CBD, or east towards the Dandenong Ranges.
Schools & families
Families are well served locally by Bayswater North Primary School, a long-standing part of the community that draws heavily from the immediate area. Secondary options are readily available in the surrounding suburbs, and the suburb's family-friendly layout — quiet streets, generous blocks and nearby parkland — has long made it a popular choice for households wanting to put down roots without leaving the eastern suburbs.
Parks & recreation
The suburb's proximity to the Dandenong Ranges foothills is one of its biggest drawcards, with bushland reserves and walking trails within easy reach for those who want a bit of green space and elevation change without a long drive. Combined with local parks and ovals scattered through the residential streets, there's no shortage of options for weekend walks, junior sport or simply letting the dog off the lead.
The property market
Bayswater North's property market centres firmly on houses, which make up 60% of current listings, followed by apartments and units at 27%, townhouses at 10% and a small proportion of vacant land at 3%. The median house price sits at $868,000, having grown 5.9% recently, while units offer a more accessible entry point with a median of $638,000. Renters typically pay around $600 a week, reflecting solid demand for a suburb that offers space, greenery and commuter access without inner-city pricing. For buyers priced out of Heathmont or the inner east, Bayswater North represents a well-located alternative with room to move.
