box hill Suburb Profile & Review

Box Hill is a vast, leafy suburb in Melbourne's east, less than half an hour from the city centre. The area has a strong Asian population, and as a result houses a tantalising array of Asian groceries, cafes and restaurants for food lovers. Centro Box Hill is the bustling heart of Box Hill's shopping district. Below its fast food stores, cafes, fashion outlets, supermarkets and department stores you will find Box Hill Station. Train services here run on the Belgrave and Lilydale lines. Tram route 109 to Port Melbourne also services the suburb along Whitehorse Road.

For sports players, there are many options: the Box Hill City Oval is a football and cricket stadium, and the Box Hill Athletic Club at Hagenauer's Reserve is one of Melbourne's foremost athletics organisations. Aqualink Box Hill boasts an indoor and outdoor pool, basketball courts, a gym, squash and tennis courts. The surrounding parklands include a baseball diamond, a football oval and cricket pitches.

For healthcare, there is Box Hill Hospital, soon to be redeveloped with some first-rate medical facilities. There are also many respected schools in and around Box Hill, such as Our Lady of Sion College. The Box Hill Institute of TAFE has three campuses in the area, offering long and short term adult education courses.

box hill 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.
