Box Hill, VIC 3128

We live in Boxhill south, which is a lot quieter than boxhill. Rent is getting higher and higher and the apartments offered in boxhill are tiny with no storage. Would recommend looking at units instead as they seem roomy. Nice parks and greenery but not very safe for kids, had two bad experiences in this suburb regarding safety.

We have an investment property in Box Hill and have never had any problems with demand from tenants wanting to live in the area due to the central location and easy access to public transport - trains, trams, buses and Eastlink freeway! Other amenities includes Box Hill central shopping center, the well established Box Hill Hospital, Box Hill Library and surrounding schools.

One would be mistaken that you're in the heart of the CBD when you take a glimpse of the high rise office buildings and apartment living in Box Hill. With only 14 Kms from the Melbourne central business district, Box Hill is truly a Satellite city on its on merits!
The busy streets of Box Hill central brings the suburb alive with shopping, fresh markets and a varsity of restaurants and cafes!

Throughout the smaller streets of Box Hill you can find yourself lost in beautiful tree-lined streets with character weatherboards homes which reminds you of yesteryear...

Box Hill is a established and matured suburb and have attracted capital growth year on year due to his location and close to growth suburbs of Surrey Hills, Blackburn and Doncaster.

- good food
- good schools
- teens causing issues
- bad drivers

Good suburb with lots of things to do.. but unsafe at times.. bunch of teens always causing problems near the station .. people dont know how to drive at times.. good for professionals and families overall

If eating out at a variety of fantastic Asian restaurants and having easy access to the CBD and beyond is your thing, then look no further than Box Hill.
A small metropolis in the heart of Melbourne's east with a variety of accommodation options from a myriad of brand new apartments and large houses you will be spoiled for choice with places to live. Box Hill Central is great for shopping and eating out with some of the best Asian food around.
The area also boats the 109 Tram and the train line making access to the CBD and other locations in the east a breeze. A number of educational facilities are also local such as Box Hill TAFE and Box Hill Secondary College.

I love Box Hill because of food and accessibility. It's very busy on a weekday and a weekend because people stop by here for work or something to eat. This is proven when you drive through Whitehorse Road and Maroondah Highway, trams especially travel near the Shopping district almost every day. Hence why Traffic is still a problem and some people act aggressively while some are greedy. Can't say much and it has everything too. A train station is in near the shopping complex (it's honestly dirty and unbearable to wait), there's plenty of stores however it's not a clean suburb within the centre of the area. Safety is guaranteed since the crime rate is low.

Turning into mini cbd. Alot of development both commercial and residential.

Good suburb has everything. Good school. Everything best.

Buy.

So convenience to everywhere, train, tram, bus
The next mini City ,,,,,,,,,,,,,
There may be plenty of options of restaurant other than Chinese .... it also has Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Malaysian Restaurant..........................So much to choose from

I have lived here for two years.

PROS - There are some nice pockets like the areas around Albion Rd and Surrey Park with leafy, tree-lined streets and beautiful-looking Californian bungalows. Plenty of parks in the vicinity like Box Hill Gardens and the lovely Surrey Park. Very convenient for shopping, food and public transport. You can get to the CBD quicker than from many areas in the inner city on the morning express trains.

CONS - The Box Hill Central/mall area is pretty unappealing and badly needs a facelift, with questionable youths hanging around after school (annoying but not threatening), not to mention untalented buskers and people soliciting you for donations/causes. The traffic around the shopping area can get very bad on the weekends and during peak-hour which also makes the area somewhat unpleasant.

The key to finding a good property is to locate one on a quiet street within walking distance of the station/shopping area but far enough away so that the traffic/noise is not an issue.
