Truganina VIC 3029 Property Report 2025

Suburb background — a fast-growing Wyndham family suburb

Truganina sits about 22 kilometres from Melbourne’s GPO on roughly 64.6 km² of land, with 37 parks covering nearly 2.1% of the suburb’s total area. The population grew from about 20,687 in 2016 to about 36,305 in 2021 — a five-year change of roughly 75.5%.

The predominant age group is 30–39, and households are primarily couples with children. Mortgage repayments commonly sit in the $1,800–$2,399 per month band. Owner-occupiers make up about 65.9% of local homes (2021), with an average length of ownership around 8 years.

For borrowers, that profile usually means: lots of newer housing stock, a strong first-home and upgrader market, and a suburb where deposit size and LVR strategy can matter as much as rate.

How Truganina grew — logistics corridor + new estates

Truganina has shifted quickly from semi-rural edges into a modern outer-west suburb, driven by major employment growth (including logistics and industrial precincts), plus strong demand for new family homes across Wyndham.

Micro-locations can feel quite different: pockets closer to established neighbours and key arterials can be busier, while newer estate streets tend to be quieter with contemporary home designs and newer community facilities.

Location, connections and everyday travel times

CBD access: Truganina’s commute depends heavily on where you sit within the suburb and your route. Many households connect into Melbourne via major arterials and freeways across the west, and/or by linking into nearby rail corridors.

Employment & amenity: Truganina’s proximity to employment hubs across the west (including industrial and logistics zones) is a core attraction for owner-occupiers and investors — alongside newer shopping centres, schools and parks.

What to check before buying: traffic noise near arterials, the feel of the street at school-run times, and the exact travel pattern for your work. These are simple checks that often matter more than suburb averages.

Schools, childcare and zoning notes

Truganina is popular with families, so schools and childcare are a major part of the buying decision. Government, Catholic and independent options span Truganina and neighbouring suburbs across Wyndham.

Zoning and enrolment rules can change, so check current Victorian school zone maps and confirm directly with the school before you commit to a property — especially if you’re buying primarily for a specific campus.

Lifestyle, parks and everyday amenity

Truganina’s feel is “new outer west”: estates with modern housing, parks, playgrounds and growing local centres. With 37 parks and expanding community infrastructure, many households choose Truganina for space and value relative to closer-in suburbs.

As always, inspect at different times of day to understand traffic, parking and noise, and to get a realistic feel for the street.

Market and housing in 2025

Over the past 12 months, Truganina’s house market has been trading at a mainstream outer-metro Melbourne price point. The 12-month median house sale price sits at about $670,000, with the lower quartile around $605,000 and the upper quartile near $750,000.

For units / townhouses, the 12-month median unit sale price is about $515,000, with a lower quartile around $443,000 and an upper quartile near $550,000. For some borrowers, that attached-dwelling segment can mean a smaller deposit and lower repayments — depending on the exact property and location.

Core stock and listing stats point to around 14,106 houses and 851 units in the suburb. Over the past year there were about 966 house listings and 55 unit listings, with roughly 250 houses and 12 units currently listed at the time of reporting.

On the rental side, recent listings commonly show houses advertised in the $420–$650/week range and units/townhouses often around the mid-$400s to low-$500s depending on size and finish. Your actual yield will depend on purchase price, rent achieved, and holding costs.

Finance, deposits and lender appetite

At a $700,000 purchase price, a 20% deposit is $140,000 before costs. Once you add Victorian transfer duty, conveyancing, inspections and a sensible buffer, many Truganina buyers aim for a deposit plan that keeps the loan at (or close to) 80% LVR — but higher-LVR options can be workable depending on income, stability and the lender.

Owner-occupiers often compare a clean 80% LVR principal-and-interest loan with higher-LVR strategies that use lender’s mortgage insurance or guarantor structures. Investors tend to focus on rental shading, ongoing borrowing capacity and a lender’s treatment of existing debts — especially if you’re planning a second purchase later.

If you already own in the area, our Truganina refinance guide and the Rate Review Calculator can help you check whether your current lender is still competitive.

Nearby suburbs to compare

Many Truganina buyers also consider nearby suburbs such as Tarneit, Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Williams Landing and Wyndham Vale. Each has its own mix of stock, pricing and school options, but they share similar outer-west lifestyle and commute trade-offs.
