Rowland St has to be one of the best streets going around. When you look at what some of us older residents have been able to get in terms of capital growth, with what looks like display homes selling for over $2 million, value for money just cant be beat.

The neighbours are friendly, though clearly some of the newer ones are busy professionals and we dont see too much of them. I'm sure they would help if needed!

Our kids have been fortunate enough to attend Carey, which is walking distance and that is what really drives so much of the value in Kew and surrounding suburbs. The best private schools are all in the area, you've got shops at Kew Junction, although we shop at Burke Road, Camberwell shops. And I can drive to the city and be there in 15 minutes (although peak hour can be busy).

If you get a chance take a drive down Rowland, check out some of the new mansions going in which will only drive up value further. Who needs Toorak!
