CONS
Its an unsafe place full of bogans and hoons (just the other night a driver stopped to do donuts as my husband called them in front of our house which happens regularly) and a rise in criminal activity. An old and out of touch useless council who think Cows are art and removing all traces of heritage buildings is great for tourism, and poorly resealing the same roads several times a year is money well spent. Dont expect to make money off real estate here unless your thinking long term. The mall in the centre of town is in terrible shape with lots of vacant shops and school drop outs hanging around, short parking limits ruins the already average shopping. Nightclubs aren't too bad but expect to see some drug and alcohol fueled violence, and dont walk home alone!
PROS
Having said that there are some ups, North Sheppartons new estates near the Shepp Golf club and Kialla is the more desired place to live especially for families with rivers, parks, lakes and scenic walking tracks all only minutes from the CBD.
The Lake on the main strip is now very beautiful.
There are two shopping centers also only minutes from the CBD provide average shopping but has unlimited parking with one offering shade sail style undercover parking. Plenty of Hair & beauty shops all over town and with the influx of immigrants Shepparton now has some great little multicultural shops around offering Halal meat and products which years ago would have had to be sourced from Melbourne.
We also have some great little restaurants around the area
