Question 1

Is Beaconsfield Upper a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Beaconsfield Upper sits in semi-rural foothills, tucked into bushland on the edge of the Dandenong Ranges. It has a village feel with a compact main street and a modest civic heart, while larger commercial centres are within reach. The community numbers 2,997 people, with a median age of 42 and a median household income of $2,755 a week. The suburb is weighted towards families and is overwhelmingly owner-occupied, with 96.1% of homes owned outright or with a mortgage.

Housing ranges from weatherboard cottages and timber family homes on generous blocks to hobby farms and newer architect-designed dwellings, so it suits people after a tree change as well as families and retirees. Residents enjoy bush reserves, walking tracks and views toward the ranges, and active volunteer groups and community organisations add a neighbourly, practical feel. A council-led rebuild of the Upper Beaconsfield Recreation Reserve pavilion is under way, with a new two-storey modular community and sporting pavilion being delivered and a draft masterplan guiding longer-term improvements to the reserve.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Beaconsfield Upper?

Accepted Answer

Beaconsfield Upper had a median total household income of $2,755 a week at the most recent Census. However, there haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in the suburb to publish reliable price and rent figures, so it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live in Beaconsfield Upper compared with local incomes.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.

Question 3

Is Beaconsfield Upper a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months the median house value in Beaconsfield Upper fell by 4.1%, a modest decline in the suburb's capital value over the year. If capital growth is your priority, that movement is the relevant figure to consider; whether a modest fall over the year fits your investment goals depends on your objectives and circumstances.
