There are 21 buses passing, and Box Hill is the terminal of two Tram. It only takes 20 minutes to drive through Eastern Highway.

School: Kerrimiur Primary School and Laburnum Primary School are better in the nearby primary schools. There is also a good Melbourne secondary school, Box Hill High, which is famous for its high ranking and a large number of Chinese people. It should be noted that although the school has the concept of a school district, But the elite class does not have the school district concept, so the school district room does not apply to the Box Hill district.
Livable index 126: according to Domain`s Melbourne Suburb last year ranking 126, crime rates are very low, but congested traffic, limited parking spaces, old shopping centre, dirty public toilets (I hear they are being renovated), The lack of cultural and entertainment facilities, such as cinemas, gyms, and good bars (historically a no-drink zone) have blocked the pace of young people and lowered the region`s livable index. This town, which became a suburban town in 1960, will leap into a new city after more than half a century, and there is still a lot of "cosmetic surgery" to be done.
2、Glen Waverley
20 kilometers from CBD, with a population of more than 50, 000 people, with an average age of 30 to 45, of whom about 25 percent have a Chinese background.

Glen Waverley is Melbourne`s favorite area for new Chinese immigrants, and housing prices have accelerated since 2005, a decade from 2005 to 2015 that coincided with a decade of rapid growth in Chinese immigrants. It can be said that Chinese immigrants directly accelerated the increase in housing prices. Box Hill, is also known as the "center of the universe".
Shopping: since it is the center of the universe, it means that you have everything to eat and drink. In the 5km circle of life,. Glen Waverley has a gourmet street comparable to that of Box Hill. On top of Kingways, near train Station, a variety of restaurants, large and small, are concentrated. Asian restaurants are the main ones. Restaurants in Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, Huai Yang and Huai Yang can be found on Kingsway, and there are many restaurants in Southeast Asia and Japan and Korea. Not only that, but Kingsway also covers many local coffee shops and restaurants. Many restaurants and cafes in Glen Waverley are closed late at around 1, 2 am at night. It provides another good place to kill time for many Asians who have the habit of eating midnight snacks. There are other shopping malls, Centro The Glen, which are smaller than surrounding shopping centers, such as Knox or Chadstone,Glen Waverley, but have a full range of merchandise stores. These include large supermarkets, such as Coles and Safeway.. Department stores like Target and David Jones.. Basic daily purchases can be met.
School: a major factor in Chinese love for Glen Waverley, is the school district. There are many schools in this district. Compared with a primary school in share next door, secondary school, Glen Waverley is almost complete, with 19 kindergartens, 14 primary schools, 6 secondary schools, 2 primary schools, 2 special schools and 1 TAFE, school on a large scale and good grades. This is why the proportion of non-English students in these schools is more than 70%, and the Chinese have to break their heads.

Almost zero difference.
Livable index 130: similar to the surrounding Mount Waverley index 124, it all benefited from shopping, schools and fairly convenient transportation, but was dragged back by a lack of greening and a high crime rate. In general, the district house is very beautiful, shopping and medical care is very convenient, as long as the Chinese stay campus upheaval and immigrants do not retreat, the district will be the first choice for Chinese, but the rising housing prices are really sighing.
3、Doncaster

Traffic: Doncaster was the first area in the 19th century to have Tram in the Southern Hemisphere, and now, together with buses, it forms the main travel area.

Longmai is said to have originated between 1980 and 1990, when the rise of the four small dragons in Asia spurred a surge in immigration between Taiwan and Hong Kong, and feng shui-loving Hong Kong people favoured Doncaster, because of its terrain. According to Jodi Brunner, a prominent feng shui guru, Melbourne, a well-known northeast corridor, is well-fengshui and habitable, and the trend will continue until 2024.

With a population of just 16,000 from CBD of 16 km, the average age is 40 to 59, and 3% of the population is Chinese.
Traffic: Templestowe does not directly connect to train, but between Melbourne`s two train routes, namely, Hurstbridge and Lilydale routes, the Bus route here can direct to the surrounding areas such as Box Hill and Ringwood, and it takes about an hour and a half to transfer into the city. Therefore, traffic without driving is also a pity.
House prices: mid-priced villas 1.43 million yuan, up 16% last year, rental 598 kK, Unit five hundred and eighty six thousand, 418 wk rent.

Livable index 154:
The livable index around Templestowe is a complex situation, with good public space, good greening and facilities for education, as well as a low crime rate, but the distance from CBD and the coastline has affected the ranking.

Shopping: it is also a typical 5-kilometer life circle. Around Clayton Road, traffic is convenient, there are many merchants, especially Chinese shops, Asian supermarkets, Chinese barber shops and other basic daily needs can be solved in one stop.
