Question 1

Is Sherbrooke a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Sherbrooke sits in the Dandenong Ranges, centred on Sherbrooke Forest and its waterfalls. Life there is a quiet bushland one, with walking tracks, stands of mountain ash, fern gullies and native birdlife such as lyrebirds. Housing ranges from timber cottages and bungalow-style homes to larger gardened blocks among the trees, and residents value the cooler, misty climate and winding country roads. Shops, a suburban train service and the heritage Puffing Billy railway are a short trip away in nearby Belgrave.

With 294 residents and a median age of 47, Sherbrooke is a small, mostly owner-occupied community dominated by couple families. Parks Victoria and Yarra Ranges Council are carrying out upgrades to tracks and park facilities, including an all-abilities upgrade to the Margaret Lester walk, resurfacing and maintenance through Sherbrooke forest with associated temporary closures, and planned footpath and pedestrian crossing works on Sherbrooke Road. That combination points to a settled bushland neighbourhood with nearby access to shops and transport; whether it suits you depends on what you want from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Sherbrooke?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rental listings in Sherbrooke to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents. With only the median household income from the last Census available, it isn't possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Sherbrooke 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.

Question 3

Is Sherbrooke a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Sherbrooke (3789) hasn't had enough recent sales or rental records to publish reliable 12-month changes in house or unit prices and rents. Without those published figures, there isn't a clear picture of how the suburb has performed as an investment over the past year.
