Question 1

Is Menzies Creek a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Menzies Creek is a small creekside village in the Dandenong Ranges with a relaxed bushland character among tall eucalypts, fern gullies and pockets of cleared paddocks. Housing ranges from timber cottages and modest family homes to larger semi-rural blocks, and the village centre has a compact, community feel. It is best known for the Menzies Creek station on the Puffing Billy heritage railway, which brings bushwalkers and rail enthusiasts into the neighbourhood, and the area attracts people after a tree-change, including families, retirees and those who value space and a quieter pace.

The community is small — 966 people with a median age of 44 — and families make up the bulk of households, led by couple families with children (50.5%) and couple families without children (37.5%). Homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied, about 93.6% owned outright or with a mortgage, while renters represent 6.3%. Council and state investment has supported local improvements from road sealing and pathway work to upgrades at the level crossing, the primary school’s new courts and play space, and ongoing care of the station, hall and playground. Whether Menzies Creek suits you will depend on how much you value rural setting, community scale and more space around the home.
