Longwarry, VIC 3816

Water coming into the house from poor drainage. Locals are rough and unwelcoming. The place has poor services, pot holes in roads and the smell from the rotting drains is terrible. Vandalism in the town from youth with nothing to do. Lack of parks. Filthy main street. Poor transport service. Cheap housing has created a getto.

Quiet and cheap to buy good value for money. All the neighbours are well to do. I have gorgeuos view of a farm and fields from my 2nd bedroom window and my units backyard is bigger than most small houses backyards Iin pakenham. And the train is in very easy reach.

However i am happy to see i am not the only one feeling unwelcome as a ' newcomer' everyone is very friendly but its now coming across as forced suspicious politeness from some people. Definitley very different attitudes on what constitutes neighbourly appropiate behaviour.

The downsides are the lack of facilities like a gym, highschool, major supermarket, bank and needing to drive to other suburbs which i find the suburbs biggest downfall as it is so disconnected from everyything. Id really like it to join up more with droiun and warragul or bunyip and improve its facilities though i expect long term residents want to maintain the country simple life and peace.

Stockmans Wood Estate, Everyone is so friendly, the kind of place that everyone stops to say hello or give you a wave. Ideal for families with easy access to schools, public transport, there is a small IGA however for main shopping best to take the short drive to Drouin or Bunyip.

It's a great little town, good for new home buyers with cheap home and land, onle a very short drive to drouin and warragul for better shopping and child care. Extremly peaceful.
