Over the years Narre Warren has grown from a semi-rural residential town and is now part of a major growth corridor in the South-East of Melbourne. In recent years Narre Warren has expanded dramatically, with a multitude of housing developments causing it to expand so that it now adjoins neighbouring suburbs such as Berwick and Cranbourne. Approximately eight houses are being built every day in the area. The population mostly consists of middle-class young families.
