Albero in Greensborough brings walkability and green access to the fore

While Melbourne’s northern suburbs have seen measured, sustained growth in recent years, few pockets combine transport connectivity, green space, and everyday amenity quite as well as Greensborough. 

Around 17 kilometres from the CBD, the suburb has long-held appeal for families and long-term residents drawn to its strong community infrastructure and established landscape. 

Developer Citinova recently delivered Albero apartments, aiming to combine three key lifestyle elements: modern apartment living, proximity to transport, and access to green open spaces.

Albero is positioned within walking distance of the Plenty River Trail and Poulter Reserve, placing natural amenity at the edge of daily life. 

Kalparrin Gardens and Greensborough Park are also close by, offering access to expansive outdoor areas for both active recreation and quieter moments of reflection.

What distinguishes this location, however, is the balance it achieves between open space and service access. Greensborough Plaza, home to over 170 retailers, including major names like Woolworths, JB Hi-Fi, and Chemist Warehouse, is less than 500 metres away. 

Adjacent Main Street offers a localised retail and dining experience, with cafés, restaurants, and community institutions woven into the suburb’s walkable core.

Public transport remains a core strength of the location. The redeveloped Greensborough Station, completed in 2022, is within short walking distance, linking residents to the broader Metro network and reducing dependency on car travel. 

For those commuting by road, direct access to Greensborough Road and the Metropolitan Ring Road ensures broader connectivity across Melbourne’s north and east.

From an infrastructure and growth perspective, the area continues to benefit from public and private sector investment. Greensborough falls within a designated high-priority growth precinct, with projected population growth over the next two to five years supporting demand for additional housing stock, particularly for low-maintenance, well-situated dwellings.

The suburb is well-serviced by educational institutions across all levels, including Greensborough College, Montmorency Secondary College, Greensborough Primary, and a number of preschools. This proximity makes the area particularly appealing to downsizers or multi-generational households looking to remain within a familiar community network.

Healthcare access is similarly convenient, with multiple general practices, specialist clinics, and physiotherapy providers within the immediate vicinity. Larger medical services, including Austin Hospital in Heidelberg, are a short drive away.

Albero’s one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments are ready for residents to move in.
