Mansfield is a regional town in the foothills of the Australian Alps.

Bushland around Mansfield is extremely lush and scenic. The area famously appeared in the Australian classic The Man from Snowy River. Today, its bush is used for horse-riding and trail riding. Lake Nillahcootie and Lake Eildon are also close for watersports enthusiasts.
cafes such as Star cafe and The Tea Room can be found along High Street, which serves as the vibrant town centre. The Maroondah Highway links the region to Melbourne. There are several public transport options for those wishing to travel to the city & V/Line coaches run from Mansfield to Southern Cross Station in approximately three hours, and trains run from Benalla Station on the Seymour line.

mansfield Income & Mortgage Stats
To calculate the percentage of income paid towards a mortgage for the suburb of Melbourne, multiply the mortgage payment (e.g. $2450) by 12 then divide this figure by the weekly income (e.g. $1200) multiplied by 52 (weeks) to look like this ($2450 x12/$1200 x 52) x 100 = 47%
Any figure above 30% usually indicates that the suburb you intend to buy in may have property owners with a high incidence of mortgage stress. In terms of maintaining or growing property values in the future and trying to secure a strong property price when selling, this could have an impact, especially in an economic or local industry downturn.
