Croydon Real Estate Agent

Croydon offers a wide variety of housing as well as established retail and industrial precincts within a very diverse environment.

Initially centred around Main Street and the railway station, for years Croydon was a semi-rural enclave on the road to Mount Dandenong. Even until World War II residential development centred around its high point (Alto Avenue and Montana Parade) whilst large tracts of land to the north were still under orchards, and to the south market gardens and poultry farms dominated.

Whilst those orchards and gardens largely succumbed to encroaching suburbia from the 1960s, Croydon is fortunate in having retained its rustic charm with many of its original areas of large blocks and grand homes now protected by planning controls from intensive or unsympathetic development.

Croydon and its satellites, Croydon North, Croydon Hills and Croydon South offers a wide range of housing styles and values, extensive areas of open space as well as a diverse range of cultural assets such as Wyreena Community House.
