We’ve all witnessed those areas of Melbourne which are appearing with miles upon miles of insta-mansions that are way too oversized for any regularly sized household. Your usual McMansion floor plans are usually more like a fortress than a home.
Experts argue their place in helping clever growth of communities. It’s better to have a tiny home, they proclaim – especially in the housing market we’re looking at. But there’s numerous areas out there stuffed with these styles of homes.
Maybe they’re on their way out of style – a cursory glance at sites similar to Realestate.com.au displays loads of McMansions for sale on the market.
So where’s the worst zone in Melbourne filled with Mc Mansions and why?

Melbourne Caulfield victoria 3162. inner city mcmansion suburb
drive around the side streets you see mcmansions in every streetscape
the new estate in bundoora. i don’t know why. millpark/bundoora is also a great place to be harassed by racist hoons, or so my friend from bundoora tells me.
The reason i chose caulfield to be the worst mcmansions suburb.
Caulfield is the suburb for housing affordability crsis.
Exspensive land unaffordable.
Mcmansions in caulfield cost over $1.5million
Caulfield is a nice area low crime no hooners.
Toorak
I reckon all of Caulfield (City of Glen Eira), has been ruined by ugly and monotonous McMansions, thankgod Glen Eira still has some heritage laws that has saved Bentleigh & Elsternwick from this ugly intrusion.
Also nearby Beaumaris has some ugly McMansions, but unlike Caulfield, Beaumaris is a more modern bayside suburb and the McMansions don’t look so obvious.
i think Point Cook is McMansion Central. It is FULL of them, spilling out into trendy new suburbs called “Truganina”, “Captains’ Landing” and Tarneit. Its feral. I used to live in one that was in long row of exactly the same design McMansion, and on occasion Id almost go into the wrong one! :(
Templestowe. No competition.
Toorak of course!
Greenvale! There are so many “Disgrace-lands” there.
