  • About Pakenham

    Pakenham is located approximately 25 kilometres southeast of Dandenong and some 55 kilometres south east of Melbourne.

    Pakenham has a relatively young population which is experiencing strong growth with a potential expected to reach 64,000.

    The existing shopping centre enjoys representation by all major banks together with other national retailers. Pakenham Place shopping centre is easily accessible to Pakenham's main Street, the Princes highway and the Railway station. It is also within short distance of other facilities in the town, including the Racecourse and Show grounds. Pakenham is home to Victoria's first privately managed Livestock Exchange as well as many other large scale industries.

    Pakenham is beginning to come of age reflecting population growth with new industries and an expanding variety of community services.  The Pakenham bypass has dramatically reduced the travelling time to the CBD.

    In recent years the Real Estate climate of Pakenham has been overwhelming with a steady rise in property values. The current market activity seems set to continue as a younger population looks to move to its greener pastures.

    Pakenham has seen a surge in housing prices and development over recent years, however, in comparison with neighbouring suburbs it offers excellent value for money. The spectrum of housing extends from old world villa units to high density housing to larger more opulent lifestyle properties and significant rural holdings up to 200 acres.
