Maybe I can help??
Hi naijacoder,
I am a local Agent that sells property in various parts of the city of casey. Where you buy depends on what you are trying to get out of the property. All suburbs have their pros and cons, even places like Berwick and Toorak. I personally live in Narre Warren South and have had no problems there, my family and I quite enjoy it.
As for public transport and the like, both suburbs have similar facilities to offer. Don't concern yourself with peopl like "Corey". He is just one idiot that got way too much publicity. People have parties all the time and a lot of them get out of hand.
What I would be looking for is the investment potential. Not necessarily in term of rental, but capital growth and improvements to local infrastructure. My personal opinion (take it however you want to) is that Narre Warren South is the better place to buy property. Sure, it can cost more than Hampton Park, but there is a lot of future growth potential for narre warren south. The casey central shopping centre (and the surrounding land) was recently purchased by AMP and in a joint venture with Westfield they will eventually expand the existing shopping complex into a majot shopping centre. The exansion will be including a new Town centre with boutique shops, restuarants, parks and other community facilities. There is also 'talk' of making a new suburb called 'Caseyville' which will merge the southern part of Narre Warren South and the Northern part of Cranbourne North. The shopping centre and town centre will literally be that, the town centre. All of this information can be found on the City of Caseys website.
