About Yarra Glen
Yarra Glen is a picturesque semi-rural town nestled in the Yarra Valley wine country, approximately 45 kilometres east of Melbourne CBD within the Yarra Ranges Shire. With a population of 3,012 and a median age of 42, the town attracts an established mix of families, tree-changers, and retirees who value the relaxed country lifestyle while remaining within reach of Melbourne. The median household income of around $1,818 per week reflects a comfortable middle-income community, with housing ranging from character homes on village lots to rural lifestyle properties on the town's outskirts.
Yarra Glen is internationally recognised for its outstanding wineries and cellar doors, sitting at the gateway to one of Victoria's premier wine regions alongside estates such as Yering Station and Domaine Chandon. The town centre features a charming main street with cafes, a historic hotel, and local shops, while the nearby Healesville Sanctuary, Healesville township, and Yarra Valley chocolate and berry farms draw visitors year-round. Families are served by local primary schooling, and the town's community feel, proximity to the Yarra River trails, and spectacular valley scenery make it a sought-after lifestyle destination.
