docklands Suburb Profile & Review

Situated around the banks of the Yarra River, home to several of Melbourne's most famous modern landmarks, Docklands is the main centre for the City of Melbourne's contemporary development. Once an industrial hub for shipping activity, Docklands now houses prestigious high-rise apartments, corporate offices, hotels, restaurants and educational institutions.

A popular place for professionals and singles due to its high-rise living, Docklands has several well-known shopping and entertainment areas. At Waterfront City, you will find Harbourtown, the Icehouse ice sports and entertainment centre, and Melbourne's only Costco store. Etihad Stadium, host to many a sports game and concert, is a concourse walk away from Southern Cross Station, the major interchange for city and country rail services. Five tram routes also link Docklands to other areas of the city, and three ferry terminals connect the area to the city centre and bayside suburbs.

People jog and ride along Harbour Esplanade, and dine in the many cafes scattered along the waterfront. The Docklands Sunday Market on Waterfront City's Promenade and Piazza lures bargain hunters looking for secondhand treasures. Watersports lovers will find yacht and sailing clubs on North Wharf Road.

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 docklands property price predictions.

docklands 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.
