About Wheelers Hill

Wheelers Hill is an established outer-eastern suburb of 20,700 in Monash, located 22 kilometres from Melbourne's CBD. The suburb occupies elevated terrain between Glen Waverley and Dandenong, offering views towards the ranges and city. Though lacking direct rail, the EastLink freeway provides excellent road access.

The suburb has an increasingly Asian-Australian character, with families attracted to good schools and established homes. Wheelers Hill attracts established families, often Chinese-Australian, seeking quality housing with space in the Glen Waverley precinct at more accessible prices than the suburb itself.
