Very multicultural great food, close to the city hardly any crime. There is crime in every suburb it’s safe to walk at night unfortunately the park was burned down but it’s been replaced great for kids lots of schools and public transport close by

Quiet suburb with friendly people. Changing from old rough reputation, lots of young families and couples moving in. Large amount of townhouse development happening. Plenty of shops for everything you need and fairly good public transport.

Short Walking down to braybrook community centre and parks is very enjoyable. Houses are changing and lots of redevelopment. Would be nice to have more cafes soon

A+++
Pros:
Close proximity to city. Schools. Public transport. Quiet. Up and coming property investors. Family friendly. 2 mins away from some of the best Vietnamese food in Melbourne. Under 10 mins to Seddon and Yarraville trendy cafes. Minutes away from highpoint and Maribyrnong River. This is a very biased review, but have you seen the sunshine library? Other ones comparable would be Fitzroy and Docklands, if you find room to work or play.

I'm starting to believe the world has been lied to to keep buyers out of this suburb. Surrounding suburbs like Maidstone and West Footscray are also very good.

Cons:
Reputation. If you're planning to go for a midnight run with headphones on down a dark alley, then yes it's probably dangerous. Like it would be in most places. Otherwise, those who usually comment on its safety are probably ignorant.

Thumbs up for this council!

Braybrook is definitely changing, lots of asians, multicultural area and services that are starting to pop up. Problem is there is still the poor demographic and lots of renters and junkie area. It's an eyesore seeing alot of the homes looking so bad. Units and townhouses are starting to pop up though. Close to Footscray which is starting to develop and change itself. Braybrook and Sunshine use to be areas where house burglaries often happen, walking down ballarat road with all the amount of cars that use to go on was terrible. Hopefully the council hires more people who are more efficient in their council planning services.

Suburbs changed alot. The closer to the city the better part of braybrook. The closer to sunshine the worse.

Cheapest suburb considering its proximity to the city.

Close to highpoint and central west.

Close to tottenham and sunshine railway station.

Its close to city and reasonable transport. But school and safty not as good as maidstone.

Its basically i cheaper maidstone (by around 50k) with the trade off being
-safty
-distance to cbd
-school zone
-public transport

If you have to rent, rent maidstone/west footscray instead.

Love the multicultural feeling as well as the industrial side of the suburb.
The proximity to the city is a bonus! (11km)

Braybrook needs an redevelopment, majority of the suburb is decaying and council probably doesn't really care. Braybrook has huge potential but no one ever tries to make the potential reality, it's a very neglected suburb with homes that need to be teared down.

Braybrook is great for first home buyers & young couples. It is only 10 km away from Melbourne CBD with lots of new homes, schools, day care facilities, parks, shops and with Footscray & Seddon's restaurants at it's doorstep. Highly recommended!
