About Armstrong Creek

Armstrong Creek is one of Victoria's fastest-growing suburbs, a master-planned community south of Geelong. Located 85 kilometres from Melbourne and 10 from Geelong CBD, it represents Geelong's major growth frontier. New estates continue to emerge as the suburb expands towards the coast.

This is new-suburb living with Geelong characterโ€”contemporary homes, establishing community facilities, and proximity to surf coast beaches. The community attracts young families and first-home buyers seeking modern regional living near the coast. Armstrong Creek offers sea-change potential with new-home convenience.
