Shepparton

"Good size town, good shops good hospital and schools but concerns of a few bogans"

A lot of bogans. I drove past one day, had an old lady say something to me and pulling faces at me as I drove past, and it looks kind of nobody cares. I had a real estate say that they were growing marihuana in one of the house..... looks like around northumberland in the south of shepp.

Just wondering, I don't know if I'm making a big mistake, but I was thinking of buying a house as an investment in SHepparton, which happens to run off Olympic Avenue..... And i'm concerned after coming here, as I read some reviews already, with several putting Olympic Avenue as a Con, so it sounds like a bad area, but I don't know what's so bad about it.

Also, concerned with low resale value of house as compared with geelong or ballarat, ararat or even the small town of warracknabeal, as if the value is going to be so slow in shepp, I might as well get a cheaper house in warracknabeal where everything is cheaper,,,, but yeah less shops and slow house capital growth, but at least the loan is a lot lower than shepparton houses as well.

The newer places look better and safer, like Kialla or further north of shepp, where new houses are being built.

Great for

  • Kialla

Not great for

  • Lack of decent shopping
  • Lots of bogans

Who lives here?

  • Retirees
  • Country Lovers

Absolutely stay away from Olympic Ave and everything surrounding it.
Glory way, Inspiration St, Huggard St, Cameron Ave, Newton St, Grutzner St, Batman Ave ect.
Popular Ave and Archer St are also best to be avoided.

Hey Chloe, as a young new nurse where would you suggest moving? What street/area is safer?

Iv'e lived in Archer street near the wreckers for 20 years with not a problem apart from someone turning the tap on and flooding my lawn.

I keep seeing Olympic Avenue as a Con in this forum. Olympic Ave had a bad reputation in the 70's.
Unfortunately for the surrounding areas, it's suck like 'sh*t' to a blanket.
We lived very near to Olympic Ave for 3 years. No problem
