We moved here recently, bought a nice house on the eastern side. We found the area quite affordable and good value. Apart from speedway ruining the peace and tranquility every so often, it is usually quiet. Some of the local owned takeaways are terrible, but thankfully the major chains have most covered. Our neighbors are both friendly, quiet and keep to themselves. The area could use a clean up, particularly on the main street. Some of the old buildings are in such disrepair they should be demolished. Nightlife can be a little scary, with the southern part of Murray Bridge being feral and walking the streets. Shopping options are well covered by the majors, apart from furniture and clothing which is Adelaide. Internet is NBN and is just fine for now, might be a different story in a few years. Parking, plenty of space anywhere really. Resale value should be good, rental yield should be reasonable. The area has begun to come into the 21st century and just starting to be noticed by people with employment. The health care here is awful, the private hospital charge $70 and give you whatever medication you ask for, but don't examine or scan your injury. We've heard the childcare is excellent but have no need ourselves. We feel safe everywhere during the day, but wouldn't walk the streets at night. The park by the river is excellent with a playground for the kids and free barbecues, too bad their are so many flies and mosquito's you need to cook twice as much. No idea about gym's up here but you could certainly walk across Murray Bridge during the day to keep fit. Traffic is always minimal, however it seems their are an extraordinary amount of poor drivers here. Whatever the speed limit, they'll do 10kph less, they don't always indicate and have a habit of failing to give way. I am unaware of any public transport. So far we are happy with Murray Bridge North school, but its early days. Overall we are happy with the move.
