williamstown Suburb Profile & Review

At the mouth of the Yarra River, you will find Williamstown, a fashionable seaside village steeped in history. Once Melbourne's first sea port, many of its heritage buildings remain tourist attractions and popular landmarks today.

Views of Melbourne's city skyline can be enjoyed from Gem Pier, while alfresco dining can be found along Nelson Place overlooking boats, yachts and dinghies on the foreshore. Enjoy seafood at The Rotunda on Williamstown Beach, or watch a round of footy at Burbank Oval on the Esplanade. On Ferguson Street and Douglas Parade find retail stores, rustic cafes and arts and crafts stores, while Fearon Reserve is home to lacrosse clubs, cricket clubs and bowls clubs.

Parents can send their children to one of five schools, though Williamstown High School in particular is highly regarded. Catch a train from Williamstown, Williamstown Beach or North Williamstown Station and reach the inner city in less than twenty minutes. A drive along the West Gate Freeway will take you directly into the city, or better yet, jump on the Williamstown ferry and enjoy views across the bay on your way to St Kilda or Southbank.

williamstown 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.
