Why Are So Many People Moving to Regional Areas and Suburbs Around Melbourne?
ELP Movers Explains the Big Shift and How We Can Help with Your Next Move

At ELP Movers, we’ve noticed a major rise in people moving house from inner Melbourne to regional Victoria and outer suburbs. Whether you’re relocating to Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, or popular suburbs like Werribee, Cranbourne, or Sunbury — the reasons are clear: better lifestyle, affordable housing, and new opportunities.

Here’s why more people are booking professional removalists for regional and suburban moves — and how ELP Movers can make your relocation smooth and stress-free.

🏡 1. Cost of Living – A Big Push for Moving House
Affordable Housing: With property prices climbing in Melbourne’s CBD and inner suburbs, families and professionals are moving to regional Victoria and outer suburbs to find more affordable homes.

Lower Living Costs: Many clients report saving on rent, utilities, parking, and everyday expenses by relocating to areas like Melton, Officer, or Torquay.

💼 2. Career and Work-Life Balance
Remote Work Flexibility: Since COVID-19, many people can now work from home and are no longer tied to city offices. This has led to a rise in regional relocations across Victoria.

New Local Opportunities: With growing regional business hubs and retail expansion, outer suburbs are becoming great places to live and work.

🌿 3. Lifestyle Changes – A More Relaxed Way of Living
Better Quality of Life: People are choosing a quieter, more family-friendly lifestyle with bigger homes, backyards, and access to parks and nature.

Less Congestion: Moving to suburbs like Pakenham, Lara, or Bacchus Marsh means less traffic, more space, and a slower pace of life.

Closer to Family: Many clients hire us for moves that bring them closer to relatives living outside the city.
