VIC An amusing read from The Age/Domain

No prizes for spotting all the falsehoods in The Age/Domain ranking of suburb's liveability.

Low crime in Doveton or trams in Deer Park?

If you want errors galore you'll find them here:

Melbourne's 321 suburbs ranked for liveability

 

Spiderman, I'm ******* myself laughing about 'trams in Deer Park'
Next thing they will be telling us that there are 'deer' in Deer park!

I've got to show you this photo of a parking meter in Springvale
For those of us that don't know Melbourne, Springvale is a south-eastern suburb, 23km from the CBD. It is very multicultural
Guess what's missing?

 

It summed my suburb up pretty well.

The only issue i have is with the emphasis on hills. They make an area less livable for some people.

Does it explain anywhere what the criteria are?

 

Wow, North Frankston is doing well there.

 

Dear Park - an undiscovered gem in the suburbs

 

North Frangers is doing unbelievably well! Number 136 overall in Melbourne out of a total of 321 Melbourne suburbs.
It's beaten suburbs like

Bulleen
Doncaster
Macleod
Essendon North (!)
Eaglemont (!)
Eltham North
Templestowe
Wheeler's Hill
Pascoe Vale
Ringwood East
Bentleigh East
Eltham
Pascoe Vale South

Well done, North Frankston!
Fawkner's beaten it though at number 122.
My husband joked that it's because most of its denizens are very quiet and never create any trouble ( ~Fawkner cemetery). Kekeke.....

 

I think you're onto something there, Scott!
From what I heard, Deer Park is selling very well at auctions and fetching high prices. Ask jpcashflow.
Despite its lack of trams, it's no longer the last suburb in the whole of Melbourne to move (as in the last 20 years) Yay! Go the west!
