mitcham Suburb Profile & Review

Mitcham is a tranquil suburb surrounded by parks and reserves, nestled between Ringwood and Blackburn. The main shopping district can be found at the intersection of Mitcham and Whitehorse roads, where locals enjoy a supermarket, retailers, cafes and fast food stores.

The suburb is situated perfectly in the outer metropolitan area of Melbourne and residents are spoilt for choice when it comes to transport. There are two train stations, Mitcham and Heatherdale, served by the Belgrave and Lilydale lines. It takes about forty minutes to reach the city on the train. Thanks to the Eastern Freeway, Mitcham is only a thirty minute drive out of Melbourne. In the other direction you will find the Dandenongs and the Yarra Valley.

Mullauna College is the prominent secondary school in Mitcham. There are also four primary schools. For a bit of culture, Schwerkolt Cottage is an attraction from the 1880s found near the Yarran Dheran bushland. It is now a local history museum surrounded by barbeque facilities, a children's playground and walking tracks.

mitcham 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.
