I have been looking for the right property in Epping for over 8 years and finally got one recently. 7 reasons why...

1. Epping is well-connected - public transport either by train (Zone 2 & you get a seat) bus (lots of routes) or by car (High St, M80)

2. Epping has great schools - you don't even need to go private. Childcare, primary, secondary are all so close by - walking distance from where I live so I have sold my second car. Has some of the best schools in Victoria close by or in adjacent suburbs < 5 mins by car or a brisk walk.

3. Due to the infrastructure and schools, demand is always high so capital growth is good. It is a favourite for those parents who are keen on good education for their kids. You can go from P-12 and have a great education without forking out heaps on private schools, too.

4. Shops - Epping Plaza, Westfield near Mill Park,Lalor shopping markets, etc.

5. Work - there are a bunch of companies quite close by so your commute could be really short if you work there.

6. Block sizes are large (great for kids) though the houses are a bit old and could do with renovation. That said, the construction materials they used before like steel windows, terracotta tiles, and so on are rustic, but good. Aim to get one on a flat section, if you can, with a northerly aspect.

7. Safe neighbourhoods
