Reviews of Bayswater, VIC
"You beauty!"
Bayswater is surprisingly a nice suburb for families with schools, shops, restaurants, parks and public transport all in proximity. We love being away from the hustle and bustle of the city. But if we do need to go to town its 35 mins via Eastlink. People say crime rate is an issue but we havent experienced it, and this is found in every suburb, even in the inner eastern/northern and especially western suburbs. Knox City Council is also investing in improving the area...can't wait to see what Bayswater 2020 will be like!

"DHS Housing a problem"
Lived in Bayswater for 7 years.
Accross the road from DHS housing and ice addicts.
In that time have witnessed
- 100+ domestics
- trying to stab their own children
- smashing windows during the day
- trying to help kids into cars near a school
- real concerning stuff
I didn't feel safe and the DHS do nothing. I have had people knock on my door 3am demanding tick money and my car broken into..
"Solid investment in the area sees Bayswater continue to thrive"
Bayswater boasts diverse housing options to suit a wide range of buyers, and also those looking for a feature-rich suburb to invest within. The landscape is varied, with increasing levels of contemporary low-rise apartment buildings populating major thoroughfares. In the backstreets, there are a mixture of villa units, newer townhouses and traditional family homes, many of which are enjoying the benefit of modern renovations and extensions. Solid investment in the area sees Bayswater continue to thrive. Combine this with its proximity to destinations like the Dandenong Ranges, the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula and you’ll see what a fabulous place it could be to call home.
"Just Pass on Through"
Have been living in Bayswater for a few months now. It's close enough to nice suburbs, but is not one itself. Busy area, for no real reason.

"Everything You Could Need"
Located 40 minutes (approx) drive from the CBD you will find Bayswater, a suburb the does not get as much recognition as it deserves.
Bayswater is located near the popular suburb of Ringwood, however, is a quieter and serene suburb. This suburb offers all you could need and want, including number of restaurants that are highly rated- “Thai Tables” which is home to amazing Thai food, also for the sweet tooth's there is Dairy Bell Ice Cream- a local favourite, as well as both a Coles and Woollies within walking distance from the local train station. Bayswater contains both trains and buses which frequently provide travel to and from the metro Melbourne area.
While this suburb may sound full of shops and restaurants it’s also home to a number of local nature attractions including the Dandenong Creek Trail which runs through the suburb as well as the highly popular park named Marie Wallace Bayswater, the perfect place to take you children and enjoy a picnic.
There are also a number of schools within the area as such Bayswater West Primary, Bayswater Primary and Bayswater Secondary College.
For a standard 3-bedroom house, you can expect to pay $420 per week.

"Affordable with all the perks"
Bayswater has a lot to offer residents and astute investors as it boasts most desired amenities, but is still relatively and reasonably priced.
Lots of shops to choose from, train station, parks and easy access to big shopping centres and freeways are just a few reasons why it is a great suburb.
I manage many rental properties in Bayswater/surrounding suburbs and find the area to a great investment with rental properties having good yields.

"An accessible, affordable Eastern suburb with amenities"
A quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood with humble homes on decent sized blocks. My husband and I moved here from the south-eastern suburbs and we're very happy. We're away from the city but not too far. There's a train station and the commute to the CBD takes around 40 minutes in the mornings on weekdays, otherwise it's a 40-60 minute drive (depending on traffic). There's some good local restaurants, it's a short drive to Knox City and Eastland shopping centre and around 15-20 minute drive to the Dandenong Ranges and 1000 steps walk.
