Timeless appeal and affordable comfort in the north

Corio is one of Geelong’s largest and most diverse suburbs, spreading to the north edge of Geelong, west into residential areas and along the coast of Corio Bay.

Investors and home owners are turning their attention to this more affordable suburb that has a vast array of public parks, reserves, community facilities and infrastructure making Corio popular with young families and retirees.
