Burwood is a beautiful suburb in Melbourne, Australia. Only 14 km away from the Central Business District of Melbourne. The local government areas include Whitehorse and Monash. According to the reports from the 2016 census, Burwood currently has a population of around 15,019 people.
When Burwood was established, Brick veneer was a popular choice for middle-class Australians, and the style remains highly prominent today. However, the location has changed in other ways. For instance, long-time residents have begun to sell their properties, paving the way for new apartment and townhouse developments. A younger demographic is making its way into the space, taking advantage of the great public transport access and the green locations of Gardiner’s Creek reserve and Wattle Park. Additionally, the incredible education from Deakin University and the Presbyterian Ladies College is also a huge draw.
