Enjoying one of Melbourne’s largest networks of open spaces, the residents of Manningham are spoiled with over 300 verdant parks, gardens and reserves. A scattering of shopping strips and villages with cosy cafés and boutiques, and the central shopping attraction, Westfield Doncaster, provides convenience to all parts of the city, injecting new life into Manningham by attracting a range of professional couples and young families to join the long-standing retiree population. Originating from a rich Aboriginal cultural heritage, the city of Manningham has changed substantially since its European settlement in the mid 1800’s when orcharding became a major industry. The 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s saw a progressive subdivision of the orchards for residential development, and today the city retains these large allotments while also providing higher-density development of modern townhouses and apartments, particularly in the main activity centre of Doncaster Hill. The Mullum Mullum Creek is a lush 18.5km trail of parkland dividing Manningham, offering sprawling semi-rural allotments to its east in Warrandyte, Park Orchards and Wonga Park, and a mix of medium to high density housing to its west from Templestowe to Bulleen, each having access to nearby parklands and waterways including Westerfolds Park, the Yarra River and Ruffey Lake Park. Led by James Hatzolos, a life-long resident of Manningham and recognised estate agent in the area for over 30 years, the team at RT Edgar are hand-picked agents, marketing experts, sales negotiators, auctioneers and property managers, bringing unparalleled experience to the area. Their unique approach to marketing with combined digital platforms, social media and international networks enhances their skilful negotiations to generate quantitative results to both home-sellers and investors.
