VIC Where to buy our first home in Melbourne's North/North East

I would also look at Watsonia and Watsonia North, starting to be trendied up with cafes and shops, has a predicted solid growth but avoid anywhere near Greensborough rd where the tunnel will be built. Has good local schools with good catchment area, Latrobe University andclose to freeway access, close to Northland and Greensborough plaza for shopping.

 

Could you please name the good public local school in Watsonia?

 

That's really helpful, thank you. Do you know much about Rosanna Primary School and Heidelberg Primary School?

 

Heidelberg is very good and zoned, it's an expensive area. Rosanna primary is not that good. Golf links is meant to be good. Banyule is very good even better than Heidelberg . These are based on NAPLAN results and what people have told me

 

Great, thanks.

 

Everything here is accurate

 

I am from Greensborough and have lived here for 6 years now, with my family. I like this area and can see lots of young families around now. Easy access to trains, shops, and M80.

Talking to people, I can make out that they are pretty happy with some of the primary schools around: Watsonia Heights, Apollo, and Greenhills. A property on a descent block with easy access to plaza and station is probably a good idea. The above mentioned schools have performed well ( even compared to Rosanna Primary and Golf Link) in recent years compared to surrounding suburbs (excluding Banyule Primary and Heildelberg Primary which are probably the top ones).

As mentioned before, stay away from the Greensborough rd where the tunnel will be built.
