About Doreen
Doreen has transformed from semi-rural paddocks into a thriving growth suburb of 27,000 in Nillumbik, 29 kilometres northeast of Melbourne's CBD. The Mernda train line extension has dramatically improved connectivity, while the suburb retains some rural character at its edges. Newer estates blend contemporary homes with established properties on larger lots near the Plenty River.
This is growth-suburb living at its most appealing—modern homes on reasonable blocks, with genuine green edges and river valley access. Shopping at Laurimar Town Centre serves daily needs, while proximity to Mernda station has improved commuting options. Doreen attracts young families and upgraders seeking the outer northeast's blend of space, nature proximity, and improving infrastructure in one of Melbourne's more attractive growth corridors.
Doreen falls under postcode 3754 and is governed by Nillumbik Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Yan Yean (Northern Victoria) electorate.
