We've been living in Burwood VIC for approximately 2 years and couldn't be more happy with our decision to live in the area. We considered many suburbs around Melbourne before chancing on our house in Burwood (we originally didn't have it on our list) and have found the proximity to the city where I work to be excellent, the neighborhood to be filled with caring and considerate neighbours and the area to have a great option for different amenities including Gardiners creek, several sporting ovals, shopping centers and schools.

The area borders Glen Iris and Ashburton with both suburbs just across Warrigal Rd so the amenity of those suburbs is easily at your disposal but without the excessive property prices of those locales. In my opinion this will provide scope for Burwood to appreciate in value as those neighbouring suburbs continue to increase. The local university also aids in maintaining local rental demand.

The only negatives I would mention would be the local nightlife as several of the suburbs in the east were originally designated 'dry zones' which limited the development of local pubs and clubs. The demographics of the area are still generally on the older end of the spectrum but this is changing with more families coming to the area. Local eateries, coffee shops and 24X7 shopping centers (Burwood One) have more recently been built which does help these detractions.

In summary I would recommend Burwood VIC to families in particular but generally to anyone who is seeking the advantages of the inner-east without the excessive cost.
