The topography of Balwyn North is hilly. Doncaster Road follows some of the ridgeline of the principal hill in the centre of the suburb, which plateaus out for some time before falling towards [[Koonung Creek]] to the north and east. [[Greythorn Park]] is the highest point in Balwyn North. | The topography of Balwyn North is hilly.

With most of the suburb being developed between 1920 and 1960, most residential properties were built on large blocks of land. This allowed for large gardens with significant amounts of vegetation, much of which remains today. | |||
