Sparks Street

"Great street, good blocks & buildings, permanent breeze off the PGA Golf Course!"

Fantastic street lived there several years, heaps of parking, really good people, no pubs or anything around so no yahoo's and any local teen-kids from Gardners Road end don't venture that far into Eastlakes so it is supremely safe and secure.

There is PLANE NOISE but it is infrequent and really seems to depend on which way wind is blowing and how they alternate the runways' - you can get some for a few days other times nothing at all for 2 weeks. Go figure.

What a fab street, you can't go wrong on Sparks street!

Great for

  • Space & parking, safe and secure.
  • Trees and NO traffic noise and view of golf course
  • Walk to King Street servo for surprising large range of stuff open to 11pm

Not great for

  • No take away food etc - but that's why so quiet
  • Some intermittent plane noise.

Eastlakes

"Eastlakes - a surprise package - what a great suburb, safe, secure, and growing in affluence!"

Having lived in eastern suburbs all our lives we were surprised by how happy we are in Eastlakes. I do remember the days when area immediately around the shopping centre were not too lovely at all.

However Eastlakes has really grown on us over the last 2 years and the sense of community, the peace and quiet of the area (yes there is however some infrequent plane noise depending on which runway they use that week) and the safety and security is all fantastic. Love the quick trip to the beaches, not just Maroubra but the hidden gems of Yarra bay etc that are less than 10 minutes by car. I would say the South and South East areas of Eastlakes would be best, anywhere near as possbile to the lakes golf course etc.

In only 2 years have seen ALOT of people buying into the area and things have improved greatly with people and investors becoming more houseproud and some new business/cafe's etc springing up already.

I would say, if your from the Eastern Suburbs, take the time to get to know eastlakes area and you'll agree there is'nt anywhere that is better value for a free standing house/block. Good luck/Happy bidding!

Great for

  • Easy shopping - for groceries and son on why Eastalkes is so EASY
  • Safe and quiet, good streets and good area to walk around etc.
  • Parks and golfcourses

Not great for

  • Some plane noise, they do alternate though and it is infrequent, personal choice i guess
  • Getting pricier!

One big flaw though: AIRPORT NOISE> Day and night and it never stops! And it is well over the 70-80 decible range. As for me, i'm moving out of eastlakes because of it. It's gotten so bad since they re-routed the planes to fly over Eastlakes. You can never have a day of peace here!
