glenroy Suburb Profile & Review

Glenroy is a lovely residential suburb located just north of the Essendon Airport and south of Broadmeadows. It is home to one of Melbourne's preeminent private golf courses, the Northern Golf Club, and a growing selection of restaurants. Local favourite the Kebab House is rumoured to sell the best kebab in Melbourne.

The suburb's five primary schools and two secondary schools cater for families in the greater Moreland area. Glenroy College boasts small class sizes and spacious grounds, while the Glenroy Specialist School caters for P-12 students who are faced with physical disabilities.

Glenroy Station and Jacana Station are both on the Craigieburn line, while Gowrie Station, to the very east of Glenroy, is on the Upfield line. From all stations, the journey into the city takes about thirty minutes. Five separate bus routes travel to outlying areas like Roxburgh Park, Eltham and Preston, and budding cyclists enjoy the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail, which runs through scenic reserves on its way to the inner city.

glenroy 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.
