Box Hill North

Box Hill North is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 14 km east from the Melbourne central business district, located within the City of Whitehorse local government area. Box Hill North recorded a population of 12,337 at the 2021 census.

Box Hill North's boundaries are Koonung Creek in the north, Elgar Road in the west, Middleborough Road in the east, and Thames Street in the south. The eastern part of Box Hill North is also known as Kerrimuir.

In the 12-month period to January 2020, Box Hill North reported a median house price of A$1.03 million for a three bedroom house.

The earliest permanent European presence in the area was Arundel Wrighte's pastoral lease, established in 1838. A Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was built of local stone in 1858 and is the oldest building in the area.

Although central Box Hill was established in 1861, Box Hill North was largely developed and organised as a suburban area following the Second World War during a period of suburbanisation and development of its capabilities as a residential neighbourhood. Prior to the end of World War II, much of the area remained rural and mostly filled with orchards and dairy farms. As the post-war boom bought further reorganisation and development opportunities, corresponding local public services were developed. The Kerrimuir Post Office opened on 1 April 1955 and Box Hill North Post Office opened on 1 August 1955 as the population increased, requiring more dedicated postal services to meet the demands of an increasing population.

At the 2021 Australian census, there is recorded a total population of 12,337 people. At the 2011 Australian census, there was a recorded total population of 10,971 people, wherein 11.2% of residents reported being born in China.
