"Great suburb to live!"
I lived in ferntree gully before which is very close to boronia. Boronia, where we almost shopped everything before. We bought a stunning townhouse last year and really loved it. We find it very quiet and peaceful. Never experience what these people saying about bad things in Boronia. Shopping late nights every week and never had issues about it. We love our neighboorhood. Hey, not only bogans living in boronia I can make sure of that! My neighboorhood is surrounded by wealthy business people and professionals. Luxury cars every houses, I don’t agree with these people saying stupid things about this area. There are bad people and bad things in every suburbs wherever you go. There might be areas in boronia you could experience these bad stuff but not the whole town of boronia. Just like every streets, every cities, every countries, everywhere there will be bad people and bad stuff. But for me and my family, this is our home now so we really enjoy and love it!

Agree with you :) If people were less judgemental. They are currently improving the station area and giving it an upgrade. There's more upgrades in Boronia as part of the redevelopment project that State govt VIC has prioritised for certain suburbs and Boronia being one of them. I agree that certain areas in Boronia may have more disadvantaged people (and that's unfortunately a systemic issue), although it has changed a lot in the past 20 and past 10 years. I'm hoping that the Boronia Mall can get an upgrade or if an investor can buy it all up and rebuild a new local mal, that would be pretty cool and I bet it would make a difference factually but also the "perception" that Boronia is safer/good suburb. I think we need to be realistic, agree that there are areas of improvement (like most and if not all other suburbs), and enjoy the fact that it's already improved a lot. Free standing houses now in Oct 2025 are 1mil+ for a ready to move in/renovated home on a good size block. Don't know if that's counted as "affordable" or not? 3bed Unit and townhouse prices also rapidly increasing towards the high 800ks and 900ks mark. You were right and fortunate to have purchased your townhouse. Hope you are still a local and continuing to enjoy the area :)
