Donvale
Donvale is located 20km east of Melbourne’s CBD and offers the best of both worlds with proximity to the heart of Melbourne plus hectares of open space ranging from small playgrounds to parks of regional, national, botanic and zoological significance. Home to a host of highly regarded schooling opportunities including Carey Baptist Grammar Junior Campus, Donvale Christian College, Donvale Primary, Our Lady of the Pines Parish Primary, Whitefriars College and Donvale High School, Donvale is derived from a combination of Doncaster and the hilly nature (vales) of the area. Today, Donvale is an established residential area of both conventional, suburban lots and lower density areas and accommodates all your sporting needs with the local Donvale Bowls Club, Magpies football team, an indoor sports centre with a gymnasium and two basketball courts, hockey fields, walking tracks and Pony Club. For those who love to shop, Donvale plays host to many specialist shopping strips, cafes and the ever popular Tunstall Square. Located within immediate proximity to bus services, Eastlink and Eastern Freeway access, Donvale is a great place to live.
