VIC Looking at buying a townhouse at bayside Council area Melbourne

I actually think Cheltenham has outperformed Beauy from a pure investment perspectove in the last 5 years - probably more due to affordability than anything
I dont think it will ever catch up to it though

Well im pretty biased having spent the first 30 years of my life in the suburb, I do prefer its quietness to all the other suburbs mentioned

Yeah i also played footy at beauy, under 9s (or 10s, cant remember) through to seniors - well reserves in my case
As for going out when we were younger.... the 600 bus provided a good oportunity for some pre drinks if going to sandy or chelt station.

Anyway i dont think any of this is relevant to investment decisions....

 

isn't suburban rail loop a 100% locked in? it's just going to take a while..

 

No.

East West Link was a contracted project when this government got into power and cancelled it. Suburban Rail Loop is nowhere near that level of project development. Maybe this government goes and moves some utilities out of they way and then say “we’ve started”. Thats about as far it it gets for the foreseeable future IMO.
