"A Town on the move in the right direction."
I just bought a house here, big block, big house, cheap price. I have been visiting Morwell for the past few years. In this time I have witnessed huge improvements in beautification of the main streets, building of new schools and education facilities, new office buildings, people renovating their houses, new estates. The parks and gardens are delightful. Jump on a train to Melbourne if you want it, return to a comfortable country town existence. The city area is getting busier all the time. Certainly not as dead as it used to be. People are upbeat and neighbours are friendly and respectful. People are out walking, running and riding their bikes on the paths. They are enjoying the place. It has its rough, run down areas, but then again, so does South Yarra and Fitzroy. On the whole, most of the place isn't run down, but poorer and less fortunate people have to live somewhere, don't they? Many new families are moving to the area, attracted by the convenient facilities, of which there are plenty. People uncomfortable with Morwell in previous posts are just negative Nancy's who won't be happy, and always have something to complain about, wherever they live. I have not witnessed any crime since I have been here or over the time I have visited. I feel safe here and go walking at night and I don't feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
P.S. I wouldn't have purchased here if I couldn't see potential and a place heading in the right direction. Morwell is a beautiful place.
Who lives here?
- Professionals
- Singles
- Families with kids
Totally correct.
Glad you like it but I grew up here moved to Melbourne for 40 plus yrs and there is an air of depression since Hazelwood closed...I dont live in Morwell nor would I...many commute to Melbourne as employment is scarce and drs commute from Melbourne daily.
You say you've lived in Melbourne for 40 plus yrs, you say you wouldn't live in Morwell, but yet you are saying you have. TBH I don't think you really know what Morwell is like at all, I don't think you have been here, nor do I think you have lived here. You sound like an outsider who is jealous of Morwell's improving reputation and constant improvement.
The increasing property prices are a reflection of houses being snapped up, meaning one thing. People are moving here in droves. If it was so unattractive people would be leaving, but it's the other way around. I think people can see through the negative comments as they don't stack up and have no credibility.
Hi, it felt great relief after reading your comments. Im thinking of buying property in Morewell. As you are staying in peaceful area could you please suggest safe and peaceful areas in Morewell. It will definitely help me in making right decision for before buying home in nice neighbourhood of Morewell.
Thanks.
Rishm, the area between the Commercial Rd main shopping area and freeway has some very nice streets which are easy walking distance to the shops and railway station. The houses are gradually being renovated or replaced with new ones - many of them have quite large gardens which people now seek in the Covid-era. They are all going up in value but are still at a discount compared with Traralgon or Warragul.
The area just to the North of the CBD area has beautiful homes, gardens and streetscapes. BTW, I have lived in Morwell for 1 year now, still going strong and haven't experienced anything negative. Negative comments are by insecure or jealous people..
You are clearly off your rooccckkkkeeerrrrrrrrrrr!
Quite reasonable comments - we've just bought on the south side and can't wait to move in. Morwell is a work in progress and it's great to see some new shops and cafe opening on Commercial Rd. The house prices are roaring up because outsiders can see the place is improving and comparatively close to Melbourne.
