About Box Hill North
Welcome to Box Hill North
Box Hill North sits around 15 kilometres east of Melbourne's CBD, tucked between the Box Hill commercial precinct and the leafy pocket of Mont Albert North. It's a suburb that trades on convenience without the intensity of its neighbour's high-rise skyline, offering quieter streets, established gardens and easy access to one of the east's biggest retail and transport hubs just down the road.
With a population of 12,337 and a median age of 37, Box Hill North attracts a steady mix of young families, professionals and long-term residents who want space to grow into without leaving the eastern suburbs' schools, parks and shopping firmly out of reach.
Lifestyle & dining
Life here tends to centre on Box Hill itself, where the suburb's boundary blurs into a well-known food and retail precinct famed for its Asian grocers, yum cha restaurants and bustling Saturday market. Box Hill North residents get the benefit of that proximity while retreating to calmer, more residential streets at the end of the day. Cafes and casual eateries are scattered along the suburb's own local strips, with Blackburn and Mont Albert adding a few more options for coffee, brunch and neighbourhood dining within a short drive or ride.
Schools & families
Families are well served locally, with Box Hill North Primary School and Kerrimuir Primary School both serving the immediate area, and Berengarra School offering a specialist education option nearby. The suburb's mix of established houses and larger blocks has long made it a drawcard for families wanting to stay within the government and independent school networks of the eastern suburbs, including the respected secondary options in neighbouring Box Hill and Doncaster East.
Parks & recreation
Green space is one of Box Hill North's quieter strengths, with a network of local parks and reserves offering room for weekend sport, dog walks and playgrounds without needing to travel far. The suburb's residential streets are generously treed, and its position near Blackburn and Mont Albert North means residents can also tap into those suburbs' walking trails and sporting grounds, including the well-used bushland corridors that thread through Melbourne's eastern suburbs.
Getting around
Box Hill's transport interchange, one of Melbourne's busiest suburban hubs, is the key to getting around from Box Hill North. It brings together Belgrave and Lilydale line trains into the city, tram services and a large bus network, all within easy reach of Box Hill North's southern edge. For drivers, arterial roads connect through to Doncaster East, Blackburn and beyond, while the suburb's internal streets remain largely residential and low-traffic, a point of appeal for those wanting to avoid the busier feel of Box Hill proper.
Housing & architecture
The current mix of listings, 57% houses, 30% townhouses, 12% apartments or units and a small proportion of land, reflects a suburb still dominated by traditional freestanding homes, many on generous mid-century blocks, alongside a growing number of townhouse developments responding to demand for lower-maintenance living. It's a streetscape that ranges from older brick veneers to newer builds, giving buyers a genuine choice between renovating, building or buying turnkey.
The property market
Box Hill North's median house price currently sits at $1.20 million, with units and apartments considerably more accessible at a median of $728,000. Median rent across the suburb is $700 a week. Recent figures show house prices holding steady, with growth flat at 0.0%, suggesting a market that has settled after previous gains rather than one in retreat. For buyers priced out of Box Hill's unit towers but wanting the same transport and shopping access, Box Hill North's blend of house and townhouse stock offers a comparatively grounded entry point into the area.
