kingsbury Suburb Profile & Review

Thirty minutes from the Melbourne CBD and mere minutes from Bundoora, Kingsbury is a parkland oasis featuring well-regarded schools and family friendly streets.

The nearest train station can be found in Reservoir, while tram 86 services Kingsbury on its route between Bundoora and the city. The Arch Gibson Reserve provides facilities for lawn bowling and ample space for dog walking and kite flying, while the CW Kirkwood Reserve offers grounds for football and cricket. The Reservoir Leisure Centre, the Reservoir Community Sports Centre and La Trobe University Sports Centre are all available nearby for sports enthusiasts.

Kingsbury is home to two primary schools, Kingsbury Primary School and Our Lady of the Way School, while prominent private secondary schools such as Parade College in Bundoora and St Peters College in Preston are easily accessible for older students. La Trobe University's main campus straddles Bundoora and Kingsbury, and as a result the area has a modest student population.

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.

kingsbury 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.
