st andrews beach Suburb Profile & Review
St Andrews Beach on the Mornington Peninsula is a serene, beautiful seaside town and a popular surfing destination. Its residential population is quite small, but a number of tourists own holiday homes and beachside cottages in the area.
The town's unique landscape, its rolling hills and sandy dunes are known as Cups Country, and this topography makes it ideal for golf courses. St Andrews Beach Golf Course is an 18-hole course mere metres from roaring Gunnamatta Beach, while Moonah Links in nearby Fingal is a luxurious leisure resort.
The route 786 bus travels from St Andrews Beach to Rye, where passengers can then catch a connecting bus to Frankston and other towns along the Mornington Peninsula. The nearest schools are Rye Primary School in Rye and Tootgarook Primary School in Tootgarook. The St Andrews Beach General Store provides residents with all of their groceries, though Point Nepean Road in Rye, which is home to retail shops, restaurants and cafes, is less than ten minutes away.

st andrews beach 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.
