About Meadow Heights
Welcome to Meadow Heights
Meadow Heights sits in Melbourne's northern suburbs, part of the broad band of residential growth areas that fan out around Broadmeadows, roughly 20 kilometres from the CBD. It's a suburb built largely from the 1980s onward, dominated by low-set brick veneer houses on generous blocks, wide streets and a strong sense of everyday practicality over polish.
With a population of just under 14,900 and a median age of 34, it's a suburb weighted towards young and growing families, first-home buyers and long-term residents who've watched the area mature. Bordered by Roxburgh Park, Coolaroo, Dallas, Greenvale and Attwood, Meadow Heights benefits from a ring of established shopping, schooling and transport options without carrying the price tag of Melbourne's inner or middle rings.
Lifestyle & dining
Meadow Heights isn't a dining destination in its own right, and that's part of its appeal to buyers who want a quiet, low-key home base. Everyday life here tends to revolve around local strip shops, family-run takeaway spots and the more substantial retail and hospitality precincts a short drive away in Roxburgh Park and Broadmeadows. It's a suburb that suits people who prioritise space and affordability at home and are happy to travel a few minutes for a bigger night out or a wider choice of cafes.
Shopping
For day-to-day needs, residents lean on local convenience centres dotted through the suburb, while the Broadmeadows Central shopping centre nearby offers a fuller supermarket, retail and services offering. Roxburgh Park's town centre, just to the north, adds another practical option for groceries, homewares and everyday errands, meaning Meadow Heights residents are rarely far from a decent shopping fix even without a major centre of their own.
Getting around
Meadow Heights doesn't have its own train station, so most residents rely on cars and buses for daily transport, with Broadmeadows station the nearest rail link onto the Craigieburn line into the city. The Hume Freeway runs close by, giving reasonably quick access south towards the CBD or north towards Craigieburn and beyond, while local bus routes connect the suburb to surrounding areas including Coolaroo, Dallas and Roxburgh Park. It's a suburb best suited to those comfortable driving, though public transport options exist for commuters willing to combine bus and train.
Schools & families
Families are well catered for locally, with Meadow Heights Primary School and Bethal Primary School both serving the immediate area. The suburb's demographic profile, a median age of 34 with a strong share of houses on family-sized blocks, points to steady demand from parents wanting affordable space near good local primary options, with secondary schooling typically sought in neighbouring suburbs.
Housing & architecture
The housing stock in Meadow Heights is predominantly detached houses, which make up 73% of current listings, reflecting the suburb's development era of freestanding brick veneer homes on decent-sized blocks. Townhouses and land each account for a further 6% of listings, apartments and units 14%, giving buyers a reasonable spread of options from entry-level units through to standalone family homes, albeit with houses clearly the dominant style.
The property market
Meadow Heights has recorded solid recent momentum, with house prices up 12.6% to a current median of $670,000, while units sit at a median of $525,000. Median rent across the suburb is $513 a week, underlining its appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors chasing yield in Melbourne's outer north. Compared with tightly held inner suburbs, Meadow Heights remains an accessible entry point into the Melbourne market, particularly for buyers after a standalone house, and its price growth suggests the gap between it and pricier neighbouring areas like Greenvale and Attwood continues to draw interest from value-conscious purchasers.
