“Home is where the heart is !”

Having grown up in the area my entire life I fell in love with templestowe and the local area at a young age and never moved on! Remarkably only 16km from the CBD we are blessed with very little traffic in comparison to surrounding municipalities, with expansion ofcourse traffic has increased but is still very manageable. The lack of a tram/train station is replaced more than adequately by a very frequent bus transport system. If anything it is a welcome change as it is for that reason that the congestion is avoided. Templestowe has something for every age, demographic and working class. From the trendy apartments and easy living villa units around Templestowe village to the sprawling prestigious trophy homes on acres blocks that present proudly on serpells road. It is a suburb which has arguably one of the greatest ranges of homes you will hope to find in Victoria. The unique character of the 1970s lucas Morris original homes still frequent the majority of the suburb just waiting be restored brilliantly by young families entering the area. In terms of the older generations they are serviced brilliantly by some of the highest regarded retirement homes in the state throughout the suburb. As for entertainment you are treated to the state revered Westfield shopping centre for all day to day shopping and high end department stores. A personal favourite is the community restaurant and cafe hub at Templestowe village. The iconic Templestowe cafe Carluccis I worked at as a teenager is flanked by wonderful restaurants and cafes such as Vibrante, The living room and 095 pizza bar (home of the awardee best Margherita pizza in the world). As for families, the areas local schools are up there with some of the best public schools in the state dominating the top 5 primary and second school rankings year after year which is an incredible achievement. Despite all the suburb has on offer for residents it is one of the rare suburbs which has managed to keep its parklands and not sell out completely to overdevelopment. In Templestowe alone you have access to a ridiculous combined 200 hectares of parkland at Ruffey lake park and Westerfolds park alone! When you remind yourself that within 30 mins you can be in the heart of the city centre this is an outstanding benefit people from all forms of life can surely appreciate. What other suburb in Victoria do you have access to Victorias equal largest shopping centre, first class dining experiences, community aspects, high ranking public schools and virtually unlimited parkland? This is not just an area I was grown up in, it is an area I have every intention of enjoying the rest of my life in! Alec Stefanoski Woodards Manningham
