reservoir Suburb Profile & Review

Reservoir is a popular area for recreation and sports. The suburb also benefits from retail hotspots and trendy cafes in neighbouring Preston and Coburg, such as Northland Shopping Centre and the Preston Market.

Well serviced by a total of four railway stations; Reservoir, Regent, Keon Park, and Ruthven, and various tram and bus routes, Reservoir is a family orientated and ethnically diverse suburb located a short twenty-five minutes from the inner city. It is ideal for commuters and first home buyers looking to settle in a well-established but affordable area. The Northern Ring Road, Hume Freeway, Tullamarine Freeway, Calder Freeway and Eastern Freeway are all within a short driving distance.

Large open areas such as Edwardes Lake Park provide space for community gatherings, walking tracks, athletic clubs and playgrounds. The Reservoir Leisure Centre is a premier sporting facility servicing Reservoir and the northern suburbs at large. Convenient shopping is available on the Edwardes Road and Broadway shopping strips, and the La Trobe University Bundoora campus is a stone's throw away.

It’s important to note when looking at this data that you don’t just use it on its own. Consider this demographic and real estate data as a whole and seek advice from a professional when thinking of buying or selling your next property.

reservoir 5 Year Median House Prices

Here we have outlined the median value for all sales for each year over a period of 5 years. This is a more realistic timeframe when gauging how houses and units in reservoir have performed, and it usually indicates how they will perform in the future.

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 reservoir 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.

reservoir 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.
