The Riverfield Clyde estate will have Clyde Creek winding along one of its edges.
Melbourne house-and-land buyers are homing in on the city’s southeastern fringe, drawn in by an increasingly established and sophisticated array of amenities.
Realestate.com.au data shows three of Melbourne’s five most popular estates of June were in the city’s southeast — two in Clyde North and one in Berwick. The others were out west, in Tarneit and Melton South.
One of the Clyde North estates — Brown Property Group’s Meridian — ranked fourth on the list.

While the region is more established, there’s still a strong connection with nature.
Sales for the developer’s new Riverfield Clyde estate kick off on Saturday, July 18, with marketing manager Graham Nolan noting the conversations the company was having with buyers had shifted.
“Two years ago, it was very much feeling like an outer suburb,” Mr Nolan said.
“Now, the infrastructure, shops and schools are there and people feel confident in it. There are abundant established amenities in the surrounding Clyde North and Cranbourne areas, and nearby Berwick. (We now) talk about what’s there as an existing community.”
Prospective buyers at Riverfield had in particular mentioned the future Clyde train station, as well as a 120ha major sporting and park precinct planned for Clyde that the government will build.
The Riverfield Clyde development will also have many of its own amenities.
Within the Riverfield estate, plans for a primary school and 16ha of parks, sports grounds and wetlands had proven popular with a mostly first-home buyer crowd, Mr Nolan said. “Riverfield will be an ideal community for those looking to get into their first home and watch a community grow around them,” he said.
The estate is set to feature more than 700 homes at completion. Its first release includes 17 lots with a mix of land sizes from 336-597sq m.
The development will feature more than 700 homes once completed.
They will be next to walking and cycling trails, and across from Clyde Creek and a conservation area.
Land in Riverfield Clyde’s first release costs between $273,000-$364,000.
