Doncaster is more densely populated and walkable, with 95.5% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and far more apartments. In contrast, Templestowe is dominated by detached houses, with 77.6% of homes being separate houses and a higher proportion of large four-bedroom homes.

Everyday life is similar in both places when it comes to employment and health, with almost the same percentage of adults working or looking for work and similar rates of mental health conditions. Both areas are also well-served by nature, with nearly every home within a 15-minute walk of a park.
