Where is Wyndham Vale?
Wyndham Vale is an easy drive down the M1 Princes Freeway, about 30 kilometres south west of Melbourne’s CBD. Located conveniently right next to Werribee, it is part of the City of Wyndham and is neighboured by Mambourin, Hoppers Crossing and large sections of agricultural land. Wyndham Vale has its own railway station, with regional trains running from Warrnambool and Geelong stopping to take passengers on the 40-minute journey into Southern Cross Station in Melbourne city.

Wyndham Vale offers some good opportunities for property sales and investments, with solid growth and steady prices. Home to a range of older style as well as more modern contemporary houses, Wyndham Vale property sizes tend towards 3 and 4 bedroom homes. The older homes tend to have larger front and back yard areas, while the newer properties have the popular small, well landscaped outside spaces in front and back. The local rental market is competitive with everything from modern 2 bedroom townhouses to older 4 or more bedroom homes, all at prices I line with those of nearby suburbs such as Tarneit or Hoppers Crossing.
