                In every area there can be some areas to avoid. Flora Hill is considered a good area but like I  said there can be some bad areas.  I'm sure you can think of some of those in your town. I've recently bought in Bendigo and looking at subdividing a block of just over 600sqm. This will be my 2nd subdivision if I can get it…[Read more]

Im from Bendigo lived here for approx. 38 years. I have invested in Bendigo for the past 20 years. Flora Hill is a great area and I wish you all the best. If you have any questions please ask. Which street? Its close to University, pool shopping centre, and good schools.
