eltham Suburb Profile & Review

So beautiful it inspired a colony of artists to set up a medieval retreat in its midst, Eltham's buildings and gardens continue to showcase its rich cultural history.

In addition to nurturing many famous artists at the iconic Montsalvat colony, Eltham is home to some truly unique attractions such as the Diamond Valley Railway, the largest rideable miniature railway in Australia. The area offers a variety of schools both public and private, such as Eltham High School and Catholic Ladies' College. The popularity of sporting clubs like the Eltham Wildcats Basketball Club, recognised as the largest junior basketball club in the world, is a testament to Eltham's superior sporting facilities.

Eltham's railway station, off-set by a historic wooden trestle bridge, services residents on the Hurstbridge line. It is an easy thirty-five minute journey to and from the city. Adjacent to the bridge is Alistair Knox Park, a popular community area with barbecues, picnic areas, a playground, a pond, sculptures, heritage trail signs and walking paths.

eltham 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.
