Crowned by the wilderness of Westerfold’s Reserve, Templestowe is a suburb that blends natural attraction with lavish accommodation. It’s best known for its prestigious streets lined with high-end properties, but you need not be a celebrity or footy player to live here. There are pockets of affordability, too. Once a part of the “green belt” with strict laws against development, Templestowe has retained its large blocks and leafy charm. It’s a first choice for professionals who want space and families attracted to its excellent amenities. These include top-rated schools, Templestowe Village’s charming shops and plentiful parkland, all just 19 km from the CBD.
