About the Suburb

Mont Albert at a glance

Mont Albert is a Whitehorse suburb of exceptional character, wide, leafy streets, Federation and Interwar homes on blocks of 600–800 m², and a quiet residential quality that has made it consistently one of Melbourne's most tightly held suburbs. It shares much of Surrey Hills' village feel and Box Hill's eastern connectivity, while maintaining its own distinct identity around the mont Albert station and local park network. Varcon's display home in Mont Albert North demonstrates precisely the kind of considered architectural build that this suburb rewards.
