Top apartments and townhouses you can buy in Melbourne's Doncaster
Doncaster is a great suburb, with fantastic location to both the city and beautiful leafy green north eastern suburbs.
A great investment area as there is plenty of room for growth, and public transport will continue to improve as population demands it.
Friendly, safe and with great dining and shopping options, the suburb locally known as "Donny", just as its namesake in Great Britain, is situated around the top of the 120 m high Doncaster Hill.
The suburb is very hilly and due to its location it has panoramic views in every direction with the view to the west through the city stretching out to Bacchus Marsh on a clear day and the Macedon Ranges, to the north the Kinglake Ranges, to the east the Dandenong and Healesville ranges and south across the eastern suburbs to Glen Waverley/Mt Waverley.
A small bonus is the fact that summers are slightly warmer than areas to the south and south west.
With all those positives Urban took a closer look at some of the top developments on offer in Doncaster:
