Townhouses

Looking to stay local without settling for less? Townhouses in Regional Victoria give you the chance to own something modern, manageable and well-located in communities you already feel part of. It’s home ownership without the excess. Just smart design on a smaller footprint, in locations where life still moves at a human pace.

Here at Metricon Homes, we’ve spent decades helping Victorians build dream homes that feel right from day one. As Australia’s leading home builder with real roots in the regions, TownLiving by Metricon is where you’ll find townhomes that work on different blocks, in different towns and for different budgets.

Regional towns across Victoria are growing fast, with new communities taking shape in places you might already know well. From Shepparton to Ballarat, more buyers are choosing townhouses for the space they need, in the locations that still feel connected and familiar.

Here’s why it makes sense:

• Live closer to local shops, schools and parklands, with less sprawl and more convenience
• Enjoy a shorter trip to work or study, with most developments positioned near public transport or within reach of the CBD
• Find quality homes in sought-after locations like Geelong, Gippsland, Bendigo and Bairnsdale that are still within budget for many
• Choose from a wider mix of property types to suit how you live now and where you're headed next
• Settle into masterplanned communities backed by experienced land developers who understand regional needs

Put all of that together, and it’s easy to see why townhouses are gaining ground across the regions. The property market in these areas continues to show strong potential, giving you a home that fits now and still makes sense down the track.

Yes. For many first-home buyers, a townhouse is a smart way to start, offering the freedom of a brand-new home without the size or spend of a full block. Regional growth areas like Clyde North and Berwick have become popular with buyers looking for that balance. They’re well-connected, family-friendly locations where you can settle in without stretching too far.

But it’s not only for first-time homeowners. Young families love the flexibility, single buyers appreciate the balance of space and privacy, and downsizers often swap larger homes for a simpler setup that still feels like theirs. For investors, a regional townhouse is a smart addition. It’s easy to rent out, low on upkeep and positioned in communities that continue to grow.

Townhouses work because they meet people where they are. So if you're looking for a home that fits now with room to adapt later, it’s a move that makes sense.

Every Metricon townhouse in Regional Victoria is designed to feel finished from day one. That means no half-done handovers, no chasing trades, and no long list of extras to sort after the build. Just a well-thought-out home design that’s ready when you are.

Here’s what’s included:

• Turnkey finish with landscaping, driveway, fencing and flooring
• A kitchen and bathroom setup that’s move-in ready, with practical layouts that just make sense
• Outdoor space for relaxing, entertaining or letting the dog out
• Energy-efficient features built for Australian conditions
• Smart design touches throughout, from connected living zones to storage where you need it

You don’t have to piece everything together. By the time you move in, you’ll have a space that works and a place you’re proud to call home.

Yes, you can. While townhouses are known for being low-maintenance and efficient, that doesn’t mean you’re locked into a cookie-cutter layout. With Metricon Homes, you’ll have the chance to personalise key details, from colours and finishes to upgrade selections that suit your lifestyle.

In masterplanned estates like Mickleham in the north and Armstrong Creek near Geelong, many of our townhouse releases are designed with flexibility in mind. These builds often include pre-approved options, so you can shape your space without having to start from scratch. Our team will walk you through what’s possible based on lifestyle and goals, and keep the process straightforward every step of the way.

Compared to Melbourne, new townhouses in Regional Victoria often come with a more accessible price tag. But just like any build, costs depend on a few key details. Where you're building, how the land is zoned, the size and shape of your floor plan and how early in the process you buy all play a role in what you’ll pay.

Areas on the edge of growth corridors, like Pakenham and the South East, still offer a good mix of value and connection. Some locations may also include developer guidelines or extra site requirements, while others offer a clearer path from contract to construction.

The best way to get a real idea of price is to speak with a Metricon Homes consultant who understands your goals and the market you’re building in.

With Metricon Homes, you’ll get support that starts from day one and stays with you right through to handover. Our townhouses in Regional Victoria are built for real life, complete, considered and ready when you are.
