south kingsville Suburb Profile & Review

South Kingsville is part of a residential triangle bordered by the Princes Highway/Geelong Road, Somerville Road and Williamstown Road. Formerly a part of West Footscray, the suburb was renamed in the late 1990s. It is nestled between Seddon, Yarraville and West Footscray.

Though there are no schools in the suburb itself, Kingsville Primary School is located just over Somerville Road. Corpus Christi Catholic School and the Kingsville Kindergarten can be found across the Princes Highway/Geelong Road, while St Augustine's Primary School is just a short distance down Somerville Road.

It is possible to reach West Footscray Station on foot. From here, it is a brisk fifteen minute journey into the city. Those who prefer to drive will find it only takes twenty minutes to reach the CBD along Dynon Road.

south kingsville 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.
