Mont Albert is the suburb between Box Hill & Balwyn. The area is very convenient, particularly if you know it. Mont Albert/Box Hill & Balwyn are positioned to the eastern side of Melbourne, known for great restaurants, a large shopping centre (Whitehorse Plaza) and a residential area that ranges from middle-class to more affluent. Public transport options are great. Trams go regularly along the main street (Maroondah Hwy) into & around Melbourne's CBD (Central Business District), a large network of buses go into the CBD and outer suburbs plus a major train station (Box Hill). Private transport options like taxis operate widely as well as most ride share apps (Uber, carshare...). The area is also well known as being one of Melbourne's only 'dry' areas, meaning - there are no hotels (pubs)! There are pubs in the suburbs around here and takeaway purchases of alcohol can be made from bottle shops, which are also attached to many supermarkets & alcohol is also served in most restaurants. Box Hill also has a major hospital which operates a 24/7 Accident & Emergency department, supported by an Ambulance service. A 24/7 police station is also located in Box Hill. The skyline of Box Hill has changed significantly over the past 10 years with the addition of high-rise mixed-use commercial, retail & residential buildings. That expansion is on-going.
