Union Street

"Quiet street with lovely neighbours"

When we first moved into Union Street, one of the elderly neighbours took us aside and told us a bit about the history of the Street's residents- most of whom have lived there in excess of 20 years. It's a safe little street where people look out for each other. Without asking, a neighbour helpfully took our hard trash on his way to the tip. Only catch: we have to share the delights of our fruit orchard with everyone on the street, as they come knocking when they know it's apricot season! (Kidding. I love this)

Sunshine

"Rough diamond..."

We bought a 1940s cottage that is a short walk to the shops, pool, cinema and station. It only takes 30 minutes from Sunshine Station to the CBD and it's set to improve with the Regional Rail-link. As for cafe culture, there's some positive signs of the gentry creeping into Sunshine with The Granary and Cafe Ancheto, but otherwise... I love it for a hearty bowl of Pho, and $3.50 Bahn Mi. I believe it's Melbourne's best kept secret and in time, it will become one of the best investments.
