Spacious and younger homes complemented by plentiful amenities make Rowville a desirable suburb, especially for families looking to upsize.

Many of Rowville’s home sellers and buyers are repeat customers of the local Barry Plant office who want to move in or continue living in the southeast suburb. Barry Plant Rowville managing director Brenton Wilson, who has serviced the suburb and nearby areas for decades, has had the pleasure of selling for and selling to the same families, first for the parents and later for their adult children.

“The first-time buyers here often go on to upgrade when their families grow and then later downsize as empty nesters or move into one of several retirement villages,” Mr Wilson said.

“Upsizers like to come here for the value they get, and houses with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double garage are the most popular.”

Rowville history

Rowville is named after the Row family, whose property in Stamford Park was established in 1882. The Stamford Park homestead has been restored in recent years by Knox Council.

Rowville experienced rapid residential and light industry development from the 1980s, and due to a housing boom, it soon became a favourite among buyers moving further east of the city.

Rowville location

Rowville is at the intersection of many local government areas with the suburb connecting to suburbs within the Shire of Yarra Range, City of Monash, City of Greater Dandenong, City of Casey and City of Knox. Geographically, Rowville is one of the largest suburbs southeast of Melbourne.

Rowville has an estimated 12,000 dwellings, with the majority being houses. More units and townhouses have been built in recent years to cater to more first-home buyers, investors and downsizers. Rowville has pockets of sought-after estates with prestigious homes and plenty of popular four-bedroom family houses.

“One of the main attractions for residents and buyers is that Rowville is one of the youngest suburbs in Knox, with more homes that are recently built,” Mr Wilson said.
