The high-spec, nature-connected townhomes reshaping Box Hill South lifestyles

Following successful stage one sales release, stage two of Wembley Hill has now launched, giving buyers a chance to live in this increasingly popular suburb.

In fact, buyers have been specifically searching for townhomes in Box Hill South, with realestate.com.au June 2025 figures showing a 16% jump in year-on-year searches.

Damien Hehir, development director, Golden Age Group, says buyers in this east Melbourne pocket are predominantly young families looking for spacious, low-maintenance housing within the Box Hill High School zone and close to local private schools like Kingswood College.

It also attracts young couples and professionals looking to upgrade from and transition from apartment living to lifestyle living.

“Box Hill South is emerging as a prime area to purchase and invest thanks to its leafy, family-friendly character, excellent schools, and strong community feel,” says Mr Hehir.

He says buyers are attracted to the mix of quiet suburban living and parks, along with easy access to shops, dining, and plenty of other essential amenities.

“It also benefits from spillover growth from neighbouring Box Hill’s transformation into a ‘second CBD’ with major infrastructure and business investment,” he says.

A vision of green

Developed by Golden Age Group, release two of Wembley Hill is called the Amber Collection and is designed to be a central part of the master-planned development. 

Wembley Hill prioritises green spaces and immersive nature, starting with the arrival streets that feature beautiful liquidambar trees complimented by an abundance of native shrubs and grasses.

The Amber Collection homes are surrounded by 13,000sqm of native greenery and expert landscaping by acclaimed firm TCL.

“The landscaping has been meticulously curated to enhance each residence and promotes and draws people to experience the scents, textures and tactile pleasures of connecting with nature,” says Mr Hehir. 

The greenery of the expansive grounds winds its way like a spine through the community and seamlessly connects to the adjacent KooyongKoot/Gardiners Creek trail.

“The site abuts the abundant woodland on the Gardiners Creek trail, a beautiful walking path and park for people to enjoy, where the creek line continues to be home to many established native trees,” he says.

Space and flexibility 

The 48 townhomes in the Amber Collection have been designed by Cox Architecture with versatile living in mind.

“They offer more room and flexibility than apartments, they are ideal for home offices, and growing or multigenerational families.”  

“Our townhomes are also more attainable and low maintenance than detached houses, especially for those wanting to be within the Box Hill High School zone and close to private schools such as Kingswood College,” says Mr Hehir.

Buyers can choose from two colour schemes crafted by interior designer MIM design.  

“The townhomes feature naturally light-filled interiors designed to give residents generous access to external views, sunshine, and ventilation,” he says.

The homes also focus on sustainability, with rooftop solar panels, provision for fast EV charging, energy-efficient heating and cooling, and filtered rainwater connection to irrigation and utilities.

Inner east community connection 

While there will be plenty for residents to enjoy within the Wembley Hill masterplan, there is also a lot to embrace in the nearby area. 

Wembley Hill is located next to Wembley Park, Box Hill Soccer Club, and Box Hill Golf Club, making it easy to get involved in community activities.  

“The location is five minutes’ drive from the central hub of Box Hill and is in easy reach of high-quality community amenities and public transport,” says Mr Hehir.

The townhomes are within walking distance of the shopping precinct located on Middleborough Road, giving residents easy access to stores like Bunnings and Officeworks.

In addition to being near Box Hill High School, Wembley Hill is also near primary schools and childcare facilities. 

It is also moments away from two swimming pool facilities including the Surrey Park Swimming school on Middleborough Road, a public library, a skatepark, and much more.

Achievable home ownership 

Buyers will not have to wait too long to make Wembley Hill home.

Mr Hehir says construction of release one is well underway and is expected to be completed by Q3 2026, and release two now on sale. 

He says families including multi-generational families and couples have been attracted to the opportunity to purchase a four-bedroom, luxury townhome in the Amber Collection with a competitive starting price of $1,395,000. 

“Townhomes are gaining popularity with buyers as they strike the perfect balance between space, lifestyle, and affordability,” he says. 

He points out that the Amber Collection release coincides with recent interest rate reductions and increased Victorian Government incentives.

“First-home buyers and owner-occupiers purchasing off-the-plan at Wembley Hill may be eligible for stamp duty savings of up to $60,000,” he says.
