Also a popular destination for cycling, the suburb is bounded on the east and west by the Merri Creek Trail and the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail, while the Upfield Bike Path follows the Upfield railway line from Fawkner. Soccer, cricket, tennis and football clubs can be found aplenty on ovals, courts and pitches at Gillon Oval, Clifton Park and Gilpin Park. The Brunswick City Baths have a heated outdoor and indoor pool as well as a gymnasium.

Median values less than 3 months old are often not always accurate (due to incomplete data) and therefore cannot be relied upon for long-term brunswick property price predictions.

brunswick 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.
