Browse property in Balaclava Avenue

Balaclava Avenue lies in Altona Meadows, a suburb 17 km south‑west of Melbourne’s CBD that has grown from the mid‑1990s onward, so the street is flanked by a mix of long‑standing family homes and newer housing estates that reflect the area’s shift toward a more middle‑class profile. The streetscape is typical of a working‑class western suburb with quiet, tree‑lined sections and easy access to the surrounding residential precincts. Its location within the City of Hobsons Bay places it just under a kilometre from the Altona Meadows centre and a short drive to nearby Altona.

Transport links are strong, with several bus routes (411, 412, 415, 496, 498 and night route 944) connecting Balaclava Avenue to Laverton Station (2.2 km away) and Footscray, making commuting straightforward. Residents enjoy close proximity to key amenities such as Altona Green Primary, Altona Meadows Primary, Queen of Peace Primary, and the Cheetham Wetlands – a large park with boardwalks popular with walkers and birdwatchers. The avenue also benefits from easy access to local shops, schools and green spaces that serve the suburb’s diverse community.
