Berwick Township has the feel and character of an English Village with its picturesque historic buildings and manicured street plantings. Restaurants, cafes, and boutique shops line Berwick's High Street, and excellent public and private schools, beautiful parks and gardens, and an abundance of sporting facilities are draw cards for people looking for space and convienience to Melbourne's CBD.

The popularity of the Berwick district has seen sweeping residential developments to the north/west and south of the town, but in contrast; a short drive into the nearby hills rewards with spectacular views, stunning, semi-rural landscape, and beautiful bushland.

Berwick’s parks and gardens are renowned throughout the area. Wilson Botanic Park is 39 hectares of superb flora, fauna, and birdlife with walking trails and magnificent views. Akoonah Park, just east of the town centre, still holds the annual Berwick Agricultural Show and a popular craft/produce market each Sunday. Here, permanent sporting reserves and equestrian facilities are also popular.

Those fortunate enough to live in Berwick today have an outstanding choice of quality local restaurants, cafes, and strip shopping along High Street, plus the convenience of medical and prestigious educational facilities, and sporting and employment opportunities. Just a 40km commute from Melbourne via the M1 freeway or direct Pakenham railway line, Berwick is also handy to Westfield Fountain Gate Shopping Centre.

The ‘Berwick Lifestyle’ is one that inspires and delights and keeps attracting home and property buyers to the area.
