We brought in the area in 2012 and despite the feedback of "the pines" we were pleasantly surprised at the amenities, transport, parks and our friendly neighbours. There are still some areas that are a bit rough around the edges, but as the current owners turn over their properties its a noticeable difference in the presentation of properties and the changing face of the area. More late model European cars adorn the driveways of the renovated homes and the area overall seems to be on the improve both from a socio economic perspective and from a safety perspective.

in 12 months on average the area has grown its average median price by around $50,000 and the year before much the same. Many renovated homes are selling from $300 - $360k which is a vast contrast on the last 5 years and has shown steady growth year on year with the exception of a slight downturn in 2012.

For rent returns and value for money or an affordable property and lifestyle, disregard what people say about the area and take a look for yourself I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised as we were.
