Glenroy v Fawkner?

I would say Glenroy...in particular in the valley area. It isn't over developed. Homes are large. I bought there a year ago and love it. I am 12kms from CBD and i have great views of rolling hills, great walking and bike tracks...and PEACEFUL QUITE. I would recommend researching the valley over other parts of Glenroy.

I've been going to Glenroy for years now (my wife is from there) and I must say it is improving each year. Starting to see lots more development of townhouses on large blocks which is bringing in more younger people. You do get planes flying over but you don't get airport noise, I wouldn't say it has ever bothered me at all. I think Glenroy might be more expensive than Fawkner. I would choose Glenroy over Fawkner.

Both areas are currently going through a development stage. Both at situated next to a fwy. But Glenroy is next to strathmore & pascoe vale. Those areas hold more value than thomastown, reservoir & north coburg does.

I've lived in Pascoe Vale and Glenroy for 20 years and love the area, close to everything, great shops in West st Glenroy,
good bus & train services, & medical centre. I do recommend however that you buy south of Hilton street also consider neighbouring
Hadfield. No airport noise.

Hi,

Glenroy or Fawkner, they are neighbouring suburbs. They are close to everything you need. You will also find large homes with large blocks, given you great yard space.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Glenroy for me! I'm a little biased as my wife is from Glenroy. Just feels a little closer to the more upmarket Pascoe Vale.

I have been in Glenroy now for 2 years. Having come from renting in coburg, when it came time to buy though...i chose Glenroy, i got a bigger house with lots of land AND the area is so green with great walking tracks!!! And lots of of cool cafes popping up. The area it seems is starting to be filled with everyone coming from Brunswick/ Coburg as it so close. My answer is GLENROY!!

I recently bought in Glenroy right next to the station on the side of Coles mkt (about 5 min walk) and couldn't be happier! I'm a single 29 year old woman who works in city and have found the suburb to be quite safe. My neighbour is also an older woman on her own and despite the fact that our houses have floor to ceiling glass windows on theground floor, we don't feel the need for any security blinds nor have I seen any around which says something about the neighbourhood. Everything is nearby, from grocery shops to banks and cafes. My commute to the city is 28 mins to get to Melb central and have had only a couple of experiences of train delays in the 1 year I've lived here. Overall quite happy with where I ended up, would definitely vote for Glenroy over Fawkner!
