Broadmeadows

"And we too moved in"

We are a young couple both working in CBD . When we deicided to settle down in the suburbs the initial review we got form existing crowd was to prefer the far east or far south west. After our set of research we found that in fact in terms of reachability , liveability the northern suburbs are better. And in North only a few areas are in fact promoted by developers where property is beyond half a million. The excuses for not choosing suburbs like Broadmeadows was the crime rate and old taboos of being a industrial zone . From our research in police records available in public domain we found in fact the CBD where we lived till date had the largest crime rate and still we found CBD quite safe. And then with a lot of further research we found recently all factories being shutdown had resulted in job loss which was nothing to do with the suburb. We did a few more visits and reading and also found out that in fact many suburbs like footscray and fitzroy also had a similar history which got changed rapidly over in a decade time as new people moved in and settled.
