Narre Warren North is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Casey.
Before the construction of the Gippsland railway line, Narre Warren North was actually the location of the Narre Warren township. The construction of Narre Warren railway station, however, moved the township 2 km to the south, as happened with Upper Beaconsfield.
The last few years has seen massive growth in housing in the South East Corridor with new housing estates moving northwards from Narre Warren. The realignment of Hallam - Belgrave Road in the late 1970's bypassed the township and so it has retained a country atmosphere. However, despite the bypassing of the town, in the past 4 years extensive subdivision has taken place throughout the grazing lands. This has increased the number houses nearly a hundred fold
The town has a General store, a Plaza (group of shops), a Primary School and 6 tennis Courts. Recently some land has been cleared to make way for the construction of a Safeway.
