Avondale Heights is a suburb 14km north-west of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Moonee Valley. At the 2006 Census, Avondale Heights had a population of 11,074.
Avondale Heights is located on a plateau bounded by a large bend of the Maribyrnong River to the east, south, and west, and to the north by Buckley Street.
The suburb derives its name from the Avondale Estate. Originally known as Maribyrnong West, when the Council undertook to change the name, postal authorities drew attention to the existence of Avondale in Queensland. The suburb was therefore called Avondale Heights to distinguish it from the Queensland town.
There is only one main road - Military Road which runs from Canning Street and Maribyrnong Road, then becomes Milleara Road. There are about 40 shops at the Canning Street end (including Raglan street) and 20 at the other end, near the St Martin De Porres Primary School.
Avondale Heights is a residential suburb in the west of Melbourne, almost completely bounded by a bend in the Maribyrnong River. The community is multiculturally diverse, with nearly half the population born overseas, predominately from Italy and Vietnam. The population has declined and aged in the period 1991-2006. Much of the housing is low density brick veneer, being primarily developed in the 1960s and 1970s.
