I agree but obviously more people prefer some castles than others. That demand impacts prices.
I was replying to rizzle who is looking for PPoR not the OP.
By the way, here is the latest report in outer South East suburbs. It seems the residential suburbs (Noble Park North, Endeavour Hills and Berwick) are leading the capital growth.
Noble Park North is at the top with a whopping 16.8 percent increase in a year. I know this suburb quite well, it is the school zone of SE with 5 big schools and colleges which is a lot for a suburb of its size.
Now we can see the outer South East suburbs moving, which is a great sign. Smart people are getting out of crowded and exorbitant inner city.
Come again? This is clearly your own opinion, I would suggest to keep such comments to be made clear.
Also what makes you so determined that only berwick is suitable for PPOR?
I agree,any idea on the % of defaults on the higher end compared to the lower end?
I agree,as i've watched these areas as well...Personally i wouldn't live in Endeavour hills,berwick,cranny etc,i prefer the hills and that's where i'm headed,bel sth up
...Each to there own.Imo people wanting lifestyle are getting more bang for there buck in certain areas and it shows no sign of slowing soon.
This thread is turning into Ali G... EAST MASSIVE vs WEST MASSIVE
Please do not pollute the forums with this dribble.
Its not a dribble, please face the reality.
Employment - The major employment hubs except the CBD, all are in the East. Burwood - IT Zone, Ringwood and Chadstone - Retail hub, Dandenong/Bayswater/Clayton/Cheltenham - mechanical jobs, storage and trucking businesses.
Name any big employers in the Western suburbs ? except little bit of closing businesses around the West Gate bridge.
Good schools, Good TAFEs and Unis - All in the East
Greenery, beaches, hills, leafy suburbs, views - all East.
Extensive train, road, freeway and tram network - all East.
Govt's priority and upgrades - all East. Its a little known fact the govt serves the influential Eastern suburbs before the Western suburbs. e.g. see this example - http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/brighton-jumps-the-queue-as-death-trap-waits-20130207-2e1d0.html
Doncaster rail line will be built earlier than much more needed projects in the West, even though Doncaster has plenty of public transport. Because Doncaster is full of influential residents who can turn the tables around, if their 'nice to haves' are not delivered quickly.
Come from any perspective, East wins - hands down
Debates are actually good from information point of view, as they lay down the facts for the buyers (unknown to Melbourne) to make an informed decision.

Employment in the west - Retail such as highpoint, Werribee and Westfield's opening soon.
Altona Toyota plus many, many other industrial and commercial ventures. Schools and building industry. Plus the people who all commute to CBD.
There are good school in the west, maybe have a look at the my school website..
Greenery and beaches. Umm, have you ever been to Williamstown or Altona beach???
I think you will find there are trains which service the West. Werribee, Williamstown and Altona. Use the major renovations at Laverton and new Williams Landing.
Ever heard of the East West tunnel? Government must see some reason in doing this. Funny you think it is simply to get to the East where all the amenities are. No one from East goes West do they?
Have you ever been in these suburbs? Are you a stay at home mum who simply buys into the the East propaganda on the internet? Seriously, go check out Altona Beach and the dog park. Beautiful.

Yes we get it, you're from the east and you love it. Great.
Now to some facts:
There are so many major employers in the west and north than I can name, Ford, Toyota, Mobil etc.
Public Transport network in the west is the same as in the east, not sure what you're talking about there, if anything the east is much more congested and harder to get around due to too many people like you who think it's paradise on earth and must live there. And by the way Doncaster station has been coming for 20 years now, keep waiting, it'll come.
Not saying the east is bad but neither is the west, there is good and bad suburbs in both, but generally Melbourne is a great city.
I go to Springvale fairly often for Vietnamese food and I cant believe how busy that place is. It is almost impossible to get a carpark anywhere near the shops - night or day, weekend or weekday. On top of that it is rapidly changing, new shops and buildings going up all the time. I have no idea what property prices are doing but the suburb itself is absolutely thriving.
What do you consider 'outer' East though?
My limit would be roughly 15kms from the CBD for south/east and 7kms for west/north
Pakenham is 60ks from town, so your willing to disount 75% of Melbourne?
My limit would be roughly 15kms from the CBD for south/east and 7kms for west/north
Yeah I think we differ a bit on that metric. I would say outer East is anything beyond Mitcham/Ringwood. Not sure about West side because I don't go there.
