Wantirna is a residential suburb in the City of Knox, approximately 24 km east of Melbourne CBD. It sits within the inner ring of the outer east, bounded by Dandenong Creek to the west, Boronia Road to the north, Mountain Highway to the east, and Stud Road to the south, with EastLink running through the suburb's western corridor.
The median house price is $1,190,000 to $1,200,000 (CoreLogic 2026) with 10.28% annual capital growth — one of the strongest growth rates in the outer east. Average days on market is 28. With 166 house sales in the past 12 months, Wantirna is a tightly held, low-volume market where stock rarely comes to market and buyers compete hard when it does.
Wantirna's appeal is its combination of middle-ring proximity to the CBD, established suburb character, access to Westfield Knox and Knox Private Hospital, and significant bushland amenity through Koomba Park and the Dandenong Creek corridor. There is no train station in the suburb. EastLink is the primary transport asset, with bus connections to Boronia and Ringwood stations.
