chelsea heights Suburb Profile & Review
Chelsea Heights is a relaxed, friendly south-eastern suburb at the very start of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway. Before the 1870s, it was known as the Isles of Wannarkladdin, because it was the only high point in the Carrum Carrum Swamp.
Today, residents enjoy their easy proximity to Port Phillip Bay beaches and the Mornington Peninsula. They can walk to Chelsea Station, where trains run to Flinders Street on the Frankston line. The Bayside Trail, which stretches from Seaford to Port Melbourne, also runs along the boundary between Chelsea and Chelsea Heights.
The suburb is home to one primary school, Chelsea Heights Primary School. Takeaway shops and cafes are scattered along Wells Road. Recreational facilities are never-ending: Beazley Reserve accommodates the Chelsea Heights Football Club, while the adjoining Bicentennial Park boasts an enormous adventure playground for the kids. The Chelsea Heights Community Centre is popular for childcare, dance classes and arts activities, and the Chelsea Heights Hotel features a nightclub, bistro, bar and function rooms for weddings and other special occasions.

chelsea heights 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.
