aftee local info on Avondale Heights for young family

Hi Michelle, Wood St and the surrounding area is very much a family oriented area. Avondale Primary is on Wood St but there are further primary schools (catholic) - St Martins and St Peters - both feeder schools to the main private colleges in the area. Transport is totally reliant on local bus service, which has improved qite a bit over the years. Bus lines will take you to either Highpoint/Moonee ponds or via Buckley street to Essendon Station. Crime rate; can't comment on that as I'm not sure, but the officers at the Avondale Police station might be able to give you the right information there. Hope you find this helpful
