Question 1

Is Selby a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Selby, VIC 3159 is a small bushland suburb in the Dandenong Ranges with leafy streets, native eucalypts and a relaxed village feel. It appeals to people after a quieter, nature-focused lifestyle while staying connected to town. Housing ranges from weatherboard cottages and bungalow-style homes to larger timber and brick houses. A local village strip has cafés and everyday shops, residents use Belgrave rail and bus links, and walking tracks, parks and surrounding forest reserves are close by.

About 1,626 people live in Selby, with a median age of 40. The community is family-centred and overwhelmingly owner-occupied, with 93.2% of homes owned and 6.8% rented. Local works include a major sewerage connection for over 700 properties and restoration of the Selby Community House, with programs operating from temporary venues while that work proceeds, along with council revegetation and road improvement projects. Whether Selby suits you depends on how much you value bushland living, village amenities and nearby transport links.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Selby?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Selby to publish reliable house or unit prices or average rents. Without those figures, it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Selby compared with local incomes.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
