About Vermont South
Welcome to Vermont South
Vermont South sits in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, roughly 21 kilometres from the CBD, bordered by Vermont, Wantirna, Forest Hill, Burwood East and Nunawading. It's a leafy, family-oriented pocket of the east that has long appealed to those wanting space and quiet streets without giving up easy access to major shopping and arterial roads.
With a population of just under 12,000 and a median age of 46, Vermont South has the feel of a settled, established community — the kind of suburb where families put down roots and stay for decades. It suits buyers looking for larger blocks, established gardens and a slower pace, while still being close enough to the Eastern Freeway and EastLink for a straightforward commute.
Lifestyle & dining
Vermont South isn't a suburb built around a bustling café strip, and that's part of its appeal. Life here tends to centre on family homes, backyard space and nearby recreation reserves, with residents typically heading to neighbouring Burwood East or Forest Hill for a wider choice of cafés, restaurants and takeaway options. The pace is unhurried, and the suburb's quiet residential streets are its main drawcard for those who want a break from busier inner-city living.
Shopping
The Glen shopping centre in nearby Burwood East and Forest Hill Chase are both within easy reach, giving Vermont South residents access to full-line supermarkets, fashion retailers, cinemas and speciality stores without needing to travel far. Everyday shopping needs are also well covered by smaller strip shops scattered through the surrounding suburbs of Vermont and Nunawading.
Getting around
Vermont South is well positioned for drivers, with EastLink running along its eastern edge providing fast access south to the Monash Freeway or north to the Eastern Freeway and into the CBD. Public transport relies mainly on bus routes connecting to Nunawading and Blackburn train stations on the Belgrave/Lilydale lines, making a car a practical asset for most households here, particularly those commuting or with school-aged children.
Schools & families
Families are well catered for locally, with Livingstone Primary School and Weeden Heights Primary School serving the immediate area, alongside Emmaus College and its Junior School campus for those seeking Catholic education through to secondary level. Vermont South Special School also provides specialised education options for local families. The suburb's mix of established homes and quiet streets, combined with this range of nearby schooling, makes it a popular choice for families planning long-term.
The property market
Vermont South's property market is dominated by houses, which make up 87% of current listings, followed by townhouses at 10% and a small proportion of apartments and land. The median house price currently sits at $1.50 million, with recent growth of 1.4% suggesting a steady, rather than fast-moving, market. Median rent is $750 per week, reflecting solid demand from tenants drawn to the suburb's family-friendly reputation and access to schools and transport links. Overall, it's a market that tends to favour established buyers and long-term holders over quick turnover.
Parks & recreation
Green space is one of Vermont South's strengths, with reserves and parkland scattered throughout the suburb offering room for walking, sport and family outings. The area's larger blocks and tree-lined streets add to a genuine sense of space that's increasingly hard to find closer to the city, making it well suited to families and downsizers alike who value being able to step outside into established greenery.
