Set in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges National Park, Boronia has preserved its beautiful natural surroundings with tree-lined streets, extensive parklands and winding cycling paths. In such safe, clean, picturesque surroundings, it's not unusual to run into your neighbours walking their dogs at night or going for a jog.

The area has an endless supply of sports and recreational clubs. Kids frequent the calisthenics school, the radio control car club and the martial arts school. At Knox Leisureworks, there is a fitness centre and a beach style swimming pool. Tormore Reserve is home to the Boronia Cricket Club and the Boronia Hawks football team.

At Boronia Junction Shopping Centre, you will find everything from a bowling alley to a Safeway supermarket, while Dorset Square houses the Metro cinema, a fruit market, coffee shops and restaurants. There are four primary schools in the area. There is also Boronia K-12 College, which was created when Boronia Heights College merged with Boronia Primary School. The Eastern Freeway is a short drive along Boronia Road, and you can also jump on the Belgrave train from Boronia Station to reach Flinders Street Station in less than forty minutes.

boronia Income & Mortgage Stats

To calculate the percentage of income paid towards a mortgage for the suburb of Melbourne, multiply the mortgage payment (e.g. $2450) by 12 then divide this figure by the weekly income (e.g. $1200) multiplied by 52 (weeks) to look like this ($2450 x12/$1200 x 52) x 100 = 47%

Any figure above 30% usually indicates that the suburb you intend to buy in may have property owners with a high incidence of mortgage stress. In terms of maintaining or growing property values in the future and trying to secure a strong property price when selling, this could have an impact, especially in an economic or local industry downturn.
