People love to climb the social ladder, and change of boundaries or re-naming suburbs with an East, South (rarely West or North) helps them puff their tiny chests out.................. or they add to the wrong side of the boundary suburb the extras such as................ Heights, Lakes etcEnrico_Misso wrote:Yes.saintspremiers wrote:My grandparents lived South of South Rd and the beach side of the highway and for 40 years it was known as Moorabbin.

"There are some things you can't cover up with lipstick and powder".
And calling the east of Bluff Rd part of Moorabbin "East Hampton" is one of them.
But did wonders to property prices.
They did the same thing with part of Gardenvale becoming Brighton.
Potential move back to Moorabin?

A friend's house in what was locally referred to as the Bronx (West Heidelberg) was rezoned as West Ivanhoe & value went up almost $200K overnight.

Re: Potential move back to Moorabin?
I bought a house in 1999 in West Footscray and sold the same house in Kingsville 5 years later. Hindsight's a great thing but I wish I hadn't sold it now. Now worth 4 times what I bought it for.saintspremiers wrote:

You were well duped st.byron, Kingsville has been around as a suburb for 60 or so years.st.byron wrote:I bought a house in 1999 in West Footscray and sold the same house in Kingsville 5 years later.

I do remember though council workers getting death threats from cubbies because their fashionable West Footscray home got the Kingsville postcode.
Wish all these Eastern Suburb types would stay East of the bridge

Re: Potential move back to Moorabin?
Tired of all the might be and maybes of moving back to Moorabbin or JO. Don't wanna know about it until it is 100% confirmed.
Curb your enthusiasm - you’re a St.Kilda supporter!!
