Mill Park Exposed: The ‘Safe’ Melbourne Suburb That’s Testing Investor Patience

Mill Park looks like Melbourne’s safe family bet — tree-lined streets, Westfield at your doorstep, good schools, trains, and parks.

But behind that “affordable haven” reputation is a suburb that’s dividing investors.

Some say it’s peaking. Others call it a slow-burn compounder that rewards patience.

So which is it?

In this episode of the Worth It Series, Oliver from Insighto Buyers Agency digs into Mill Park’s numbers, streets, and story — revealing:

Why its owner-occupier rate (77%) makes it both stable and frustrating for investors

How low yields (2.8%) and rising vacancy rates could affect your cash flow

The real reason some investors stay away — and why others hold for 15 years

Whether you’re buying into scarcity or stagnation.

If you’ve ever wondered whether Mill Park is still worth it in 2025, this one’s for you.
