Ardeer Post Office opened on 1 December 1953 as suburban development took place and closed in 1979.

[2] Ardeer today is a small suburb split into two enclaves by Kororoit Creek.

The area south of Forrest Street, previously known as Ardeer, was rezoned in the late 1990s to be incorporated into Sunshine West.

A section of the Kororoit Creek runs along the north and west border of Ardeer.

The Kororoit Creek Trail contains wide open park space and native vegetation rarely seen so close to the Melbourne central business district.
