Navigate local property complexities with confidence
Parts of Boronia are close to bushland and steep terrain, which may fall under the Bushfire Prone Areas (BPA) or the Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO).
Homes closer to the hills or bordering bush reserves may face higher risk not just from fire, but also from emergency access issues, slope-related drainage, and possibly more extreme weather exposure (winds, embers).
Boronia has a mix of older brick homes on generous blocks and newer townhouses. Larger lots may offer renovation or redevelopment potential, while newer builds are lower-maintenance but often smaller.
Boronia remains relatively affordable compared to nearby suburbs like Wantirna. Demand is steady, but buyers should keep an eye on local development projects that may affect property values.
Median house price $863,350. The house market is attractive to families and first-home buyers, offering comparatively affordable homes with good land sizes and proximity to the Dandenong Ranges.
Median unit price $664,250. The unit market is steadily growing, with modern apartments and townhouses providing more affordable and low-maintenance options.

Most contracts settle in 30, 60 or 90 days. Timing depends on what’s agreed in the contract, your finance approval, and any special conditions (e.g., building/pest). We drive the process, keep everyone aligned, and let you know if anything could affect your settlement date.
