What do people think of the Mitcham and Maidstone/Sunshine/West Footscray areas in Victoria?
I am thinking of buying land/property in either area and am interested to see what your views are.
Sunshine I wouldnt touch with a 10 foot pole-still a long long long way to go before that becomes anything. Dont know about Mitcham but Maidstone and West Footscray would be good buys-but dont expect anything to cheap-the prices have already gone up in these areas [angry2]
I live in the next suburb from
Mitcham. It has good public transport with a train station and buses.
It has two major shopping centres near by Forest Hill Chase and Eastland in Ringwood and further away The Glen and BOX HILL and Chadstone shopping centres.
Also the new east link toll road will open in 2008 and should bring down the traffic in the area when people get used to the road having a toll even though the recently re-elected premier promised it would not be tolled in the previous election promises. Sunshine has a lot of heavy industry and also Truck traffic so I agree with the above comments from Blogs. Also consider Ringwood, Boronia, Nunawading, Knox, Forest Hill, Glen Waverley. Bayswater I have not any real idea about why it is cheaper but you may find cheaper prices there too.Having just discussed this with my wife you have BOX HILL and Maroondah Public Hospitals close by also. And in Mitcham road there is a private hospital.
