Doncaster, in the city’s north-east, has all the advantages of a suburb – quiet streets, good-sized houses, public schools and amenities, great shopping, lots of greenery – but with a convenient location next to the Eastern Freeway. Hit the freeway and a zippy 15kms later, you’re in the heart of Collingwood and Fitzroy.

​

Doncaster is primarily home to established and older families and couples – the housing is the perfect choice for parents with growing children. But younger, independent people live here too, drawn to the new modernist apartment buildings and zippy freeway nearby.

​

Doncaster has a lot of strings to its bow. You can spend a Sunday playing golf or doing yum. You could check out the handcrafts of the Fine Design Market at MC2, a new community precinct on Doncaster Road, or you could go for a mighty shop at Westfield Doncaster with its dizzying array of stores, cafes and cinemas. You could spend a retro evening with yesteryear bands at Hotel Shoppingtown or hit the freeway and be living it up in Fitzroy in minutes.
