Just wondering what other members have to say on this little suburb for Investment. Thanks in advance.
Not that I know anything about the suburb in particular, but that summary of the suburb just screams "GENERIC" to me. Any of that information could have applied to hundreds of suburbs around the country really - it doesn't help me figure out whether its a good place to invest in.
