With tree-lined streets, chic cafés and beautiful parks, these idyllic locales are what young families’ dreams are made of.

Lifestyle

The leafy streets and picture-perfect homes of Malvern and Malvern East are a veritable playground for families. In fact, it’s hard to believe that these lush green neighbourhoods are a mere 20-minute drive from the city. What’s not so hard to believe, is that once the kids leave home mum and dad tend to have no intention of following suit.

Gardens are perfectly manicured, café culture reigns supreme, and a pet dog is essential. Nowhere is this more evident than in firm local favourite Central Park, where you’ll find everyone from fitness addicts to latte sippers, weekend cricket clubs and playgroups all enjoying their spot on the grass.
