doncaster Suburb Profile & Review

Doncaster is a popular suburb with families due to scenic parkland at Schramms Reserve, Tram Road Reserve and the Eastern Golf Club. Doncaster Secondary College has a warm and culturally diverse student population, while Doncaster Primary School is highly ranked on the MySchool website.

The suburb is also home to Westfield Doncaster, one of the largest shopping centres in Australia. Drop in for a coffee at Coffee Max, a movie at the Village Cinemas, or dinner and a drink at Kouzina, a modern Greek and Meze Bar on the rooftop level. Among Westfield's 400 stores, you will find a Myer, a David Jones, Woolworths, Target, a Fitness First Gym and a JB Hi-Fi. Other cafes, restaurants and specialty stores can be found on High Street and Doncaster Road, while Centro Box Hill, with its array of multicultural restaurants and supermarkets, is a ten minute drive away.

Buses are the sole form of public transport in the area, and the various routes available will take you to all surrounding suburbs. A drive along the Eastern Freeway will lead you into the city centre in twenty minutes.

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 doncaster property price predictions.

Typically, inner city suburbs within 10km of the CBD are comprised of apartments and semi-detached homes, while middle ring suburbs have semi-detached and detached properties. Rural properties would most likely fall under the “other” category.

This ABS Property Type data combined with Population Density and Family Composition figures gives a good indication of the type of people living in an area and therefore what type of property (1-2 bed apartment or house) would be an ideal investment or property to live in.

doncaster 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.
