Why Choose Preston for NDIS Housing
Preston is one of Melbourne's genuinely high-demand suburbs for Specialist Disability Accommodation. Unlike some of the newer western growth corridors, Preston is an established inner-north suburb with strong, stable demand for SDA housing rather than an oversupplied market — which means a faster, more realistic path to a home.
Healthcare access is a genuine strength here, with Mercy Hospital for Women just 1.2km away and a wide network of allied health and GP clinics along High Street and Plenty Road. Preston also sits close to the La Trobe University precinct and Northland Shopping Centre, giving residents strong everyday amenity as well as clinical support close to home.
