Lyndhurst, VIC 3975

have you ever had an encounter with the smell that occasionally is being experienced by the residents in Lyndhurst?

NOT At all

hi mate. Is it really that bad until now? Id like to hear from you. I have been thinking hard of buying a land in Aquarevo. Your response is greatly appreciated. Thanks

i bought a block of land in aquarevo... it is the best suburb and close to the city as well. great area to live in budd

Once this area is fully serviced with a bus route, access to the train station at lynbrook, Merinda park station is close to us (10 min walk) but the new station will help a lot. Not to mention the shopping centre with Marriott Waters where we are living that will avoid the need to go to far for shops. I have never tried tried driving into the city but I get onto the Monash without any delays most days and most of the traffic build up is at the city end so no matter where you live you are affected by the same traffic. As far as the train goes being less than 5 mins drive from the station and a 55 minute train ride into the CBD is not that bad. Its more the choice of things to do outside of work that appeals most to me, the coast is really close and with the new pennisular link opeing up in a year or so it will make those areas even closer. Areas like emerald, philip island are all within easy access and every facility i have ever needed is available in one of the nearby suburbs. Overall its a fantastic place to live and there is more on the way.

Thanks for posting your comment - we are thinking of buying in the last release and you have answered a lot of our questions. Just out of interest, how long does it take to walk to the station ? We keep hearing negative comments about the South but strangely only ever by people from the North and vice versa but this Estate has a lovely feel.
I have had concerns over the "toxic" dump nearby - is this an issue?
Thanks

I respect that everyone has a right to comment, but I strongly disagree with what you say about Lyndhurst as a resident I find it has a lot to offer, by the look of your comment it would seem to me that you have a vested interest in running Lyndhurst down and making Waverly Park look good, I am not sure why however it’s nice to know that Lyndhurst is in the same price bracket as Waverly Park Waverly is a nice area. :-)

some idiot advertising for Mirvac... this post by MariaL should be deleted....

Its always the way, the more popular an area is the more people hate it.

If I am going that far I would rather get a bigger land and a farm.
Little towns do have the same facilities.

40 minutes with no traffic I agree but with real melbourne Traffic you dreaming ..Land is so so expensive you will never be able to resell your house with a good profit that far from the city.

Sorry mate, but we have just sold our house there and have moved to one of the new houses on Marriot Water (still in Lyndhurst), bought the original house in 2005 and just sold for $280k profit.
Maybe you would like to come and do the drive to work with me one morning. I admit 12 months ago it was a very different story and it would take 1hr 15min up to 1hr 30min to King Street. Went up to the office on Saturday (the other end of King Street) and it took 35 mins from pulling out of my drive and arriving in our underground car park. Have you travelled down the M1 since the road works have finished?

I do use M1 Everyday and I am not surprised it took you 35 min because Saturday is a public holiday..lol

Also wait till you are in real traffic at 8:30 am or 5 pm then judge after all Schools and Tafes and Uni are back..Not everyone is back yet.

Also as a matter of fact I have a friend he is independent evaluator and he said he has never heard of house made 280,000 profit yet in lyndhurst form his reports Because it will make it one of the most desirable suburb in the south east but actually its not...yet

If you done it well done mate but I really doubt it that every house in Lyndhurst will make profit of 280,000 like yours.

Although its not worth buying there...you can go and but in lakeside Pakenham same size land and half the price and even better planning.
Don’t tell me that because Lyndhurst is 15km closer to the city it double the price from lakeside Pakenham.

You said "Went up to the office on Saturday" its a weekend not publick holiday its not a working day still.

If you really made 280,000 you shouldn't be upset you should keep it toyourself and make more money actually you made what many people coudn't make in 2009.

I am not getting into argument with any one I am sorry if I gave you this impression.

As a matter of fact I am going to rent my place in noble park to a relative becuase I can and the rent prices going crazy there and I am going to buy another house in wheelers hill where you should be paying 550,000 for a property.

By the way you might need to check the flood plans of lyndhurst near Mariot waters ;-)

Good day to you to mate.

Um yes that is correct and you replied with " do use M1 Everyday and I am not surprised it took you 35 min because Saturday is a public holiday..lol"

Don't think I need to check the flood plan mate, there is as much chance of Lyndhurst flooding than Noble Park beating Toorak in property prices;) In the 6 years I have been here we have never had a flood, maybe that's because we are in a drought?

Good luck with the property at Wheelers Hill, I have a couple of investment properties around, it seems Point Cook, Pakenham are the places to buy. Not to sure about Franga, keep revisiting the idea as it has a lot to offer being near the beach etc. Never looked in to Wheelers Hill, is that for investment or personal use?

Not sure what is your point about M1 may be I made a typo but
"you went on Saturday and thats not a wroking day"
what are you going on about now.

Good for you having investment at Point cook and Pakenham thats a wise thing to do.
You might also consider manor lakes near wyndham vale thers is good money.
But I can guarrantee you not going to make 280,000 in 2 years


Not sure what beach you talking about.

Also you never know when its gonna flood when it rain it pours my friend specially when there is a flood path in the streets.

Umm two accounts, Mikymad and Andrewl is that allowed? No wonder you are getting confused mate. Have a great day.

actually I was replying on behalf of my partener..You left the whole point of the topic and talking about accounts ..Have a great day.

one of the best suburbs

Cranbourne (Crimeburn), umm that says it all, I guess you do not like exclusive areas. I cannot understand why someone who does not live in the area can have such a strong opinion.
How on earth can traffic be busy it is an estate, not the Nepean or Gippi?
Could you also explain how Power, Water, Gas, Pay TV is average? Also in regards to the neighbours did you chat with any?
The only thing you have got correct is the resale value.

Cranbourne is also a logic place to live in .... you get what you pay for ...Crimeburn this word I heard from the ladies in the office...it doesn't represent anything.
If these is crime in carnbourne it will reach lyndhurst

Not sure why... does the crime/drugs in Springvale and Dandenong affect Noble Park!!!!

Com'on AThompson no need to attack those who do not agree with u, if u know Lyndhurst is a beautiful place then thats great u got your message out but arguing continuesly about it will send out negative view about Lyndhurst and one of its resident...consider the fact that people don't always see things the way u do and others may have had a bad experience in the area...and just to let u know that its not my intention to offend anybody....PEACE!!

I respect that everyone has a right to comment, but as a resident I strongly disagree with what you say about Lyndhurst, as a resident I find it has a lot to offer, the neighbors are great, when we are out walking around the beautiful recreational areas people are very friendly we feel safe the child care centre we use is wonderful and our child loves to go there. I am confident that it would be almost impossible to rate the things you have rated by just paying a visit to the area like Neighborly Spirit, Internet Access, Cost of living, Pay TV just to mention a few????????????

one of the best suburbs

One of the best supurb i lived in

Dharwinder where in Lyndhurst do u live, thinking of moving there ...is it really that good..

And you say Noble Park is excellent, says everything!!!

Actually I am one of the engineers who worked on developing lyndhurst and these land has long way to go for the price they asking for to match the real price

I have been living in Noble park since 2007 and my house gained 80,000 in equity..
I am 26 km 30 minutes from the CBD and 25 by freeway.
Its not the best suburb in Melbourne like Toorak or Kew etc. because of what happen in the past but its good enough for the price you pay and what you gain is amazing.

I am so happy that there is people like you that think of Nobel park as bad area because it gave me a chance to buy a bargain.

Good luck with Lyndhurst stick with it 20 years and you will be alright.

Just posted this on the other thread, thought I would also post it here, when you say you worked on developing Lyndhurst, which estate and how long ago?, anyway here are my comments from another thread.:

30th January is a public holiday, umm since when???
You say land and property is at a premium in Lyndhurst, well surely that shows how many people are wanting to live there. If this wasn't the case it would be cheaper. A lot of the high end properties are now around $600k. Maybe your valuer needs to revisit the area. We paid $300k for ours and sold it for $580k, yes I agree it was a shock to us, but the properties around us are also selling with such a huge return, another house has just sold at $568k, he made a profit of $168k in 12 months.

Anyway mate, I am not getting in to an argument, each to their own and all that, enjoy your life in Noble Park and I will here in Lyndhurst. Have a great day.

I am confident that it would be almost impossible to rate the things you have rated by just paying a visit to the area like Neighborly Spirit, internet access, Cost of living, Pay TV just to mention a few. In the same vain as AThompson I also have made excellent gain on my property my land alone has gone up $110K since 2008 let alone the total value of the home we have built, regardless of where you choose to lay your hat, Melbourne property has been good to us all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
