Overview

Ashwood lies 14 km south‑east of Melbourne’s CBD within the City of Monash and recorded 7,154 residents at the 2021 census. The suburb’s housing began in the early 1950s with double‑fronted cream‑brick homes, and later redevelopment of former school sites has added newer dwellings, creating a blend of post‑war and contemporary styles. Residents enjoy a strip shopping centre on Warrigal Road anchored by Woolworths, a heritage‑listed Robin Boyd‑designed former supermarket, and several parks, Ashwood Reserve with hockey and rugby fields, Electra Reserve with croquet and a seniors hall, and Salisbury Reserve with a scout hall and playground. Primary and secondary schools, a specialist school, a kindergarten and a pre‑school all sit within easy reach, supporting families of all ages.
