Hi,
I am seeking for advice to purchase our own house.
I started looking at Vermont, as heard that it is pretty decent suburb. However, it is not too close to train station, and the price seems to be picking up. Now I am looking at Ringwood/ Ringwood East as the price is definitely much more attractive, and there are train station at Ringwood/ Ringwood East (the trip to the city is about 50 minutes, which is not too bad).
I also need to consider the schooling of my kids. In Ringwood, there are Ringwood Secondary College and Eastwood Primary School. Any idea if the schools are good? (Ringwood SC seems to have impressive VCE results?).
Ringwood/ Ringwood East is far from CBD, so I won't expect a huge capital growth. But I think it is ok, as what I need now is a decent place for the family to live in which is close to amendities. Ringwood/ Ringwood East seems to tick those boxes (train station, schools, shopping)
Any thing that you can share about Ringwood/ Ringwood East? e.g. is there any particular area that is nicer/ newer? or any particular area that have older houses? any bad things that I should know abt Ringwood (e.g. is it a 'safe' neighbourhood, is there enough parking space at the train station etc)?
Thanks
