About Close Enough
What is this?
Close Enough is a tool for checking the liveability of any Victorian address. Enter an address and get instant insights on public transport access, nearby parks, cycling infrastructure, planning overlays, and more. Compare up to three addresses side by side to help narrow down your options.
Who is this for?
Anyone looking at properties in Victoria - whether you're renting, buying, or just curious. Get objective facts about a location without the spin of real estate listings.
If you're a real estate agent, we also offer organisation-branded reports for teams. Learn more on the agents page.
Why "Close Enough"?
No address is perfect. The train might be a 10-minute walk instead of 5. The park might be small. The crime stats might be slightly dated. But you'll know if a place is close enough to what you're looking for.
What data do you use?
Location data comes from official government sources. See the methodology page for full details.
