"Sunbury"
I just love this suburb. Most people wake up to find kangaroos in their backyard. It is very quiet.I would say it is a bit like the country but then again it is not too far from the city

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad I clicked on this review about living in Mernda!!! I am in the process of selling my home in Doncaster and was considering the idea of building my dream home in either Doreen or Mernda. Definitely NOT GOING TO HAPPEN NOW that I have read and scrutinised the negative comments and warnings. Thankyou to all who have expressed their honest concerns and views. I am a firm believer that "when you want to know something, ASK THE NEIGHBOURS AND THE LOCAL INHABITANTS". Seems to me that NOWHERE in Metropolitan Melbourne are these new developments suitable for decent semi-retirees looking for a safe, friendly and peaceful place to make a home. Maybe I should look to Castlemaine or Echuca for better options ... at least the property values are escalating at a rapid rate and I will be spared the "hoons and neighbourhood brats!!!". Good luck to those of you who want a better life ... we all deserve it.
What a sucker, the houses are now double the value compare to 4 years ago.
Feel free to visit Mernda now for a reality check, the place is peaceful, thriving and well sought after.

I didn't think Doreen prices were really in the realm of first home buyers. Even Mernda isnt anymore.
The nice thing about Doreen is how the people who planned it allowed for a real mix of land sizes and house types. There are quite a few really beautiful town houses for sale in the low and mid 400,000s. There are also a few small cottage type houses on small blocks that are in the high 300,000 and low 400,000. The thing about Doreen is that it doesnt feel cheap. In fact it is quite the opposite and feels very affluent to the point of a person feeling the need to dress up to go to the supermarket (which has good and bad about it). We are all first home buyers at some stage in life. There is obviously nothing wrong with being one. However in Doreen you will want to be an aspirational first home buyer to feel like you fit in. By that I mean you will want to make your house and your front garden look nice and pleasant and not keep a rusty car on your front lawn. You will probably not want to be a bogan because you will be very place if you do.
The last part of the last sentence should have read "... you will be very out of place if you do."
Saying Mernda is great for retirees is rubbish. It's geared to house families with disobedient, screaming brats, partygoers with no respect for others' privacy or rights to peace and quiet. Was once lovely, now going to rot. And traffic congestion peak hours is worse than ever up around Woodland Waters estate.
