Ten years ago, we knocked down our renovated, comfortable ex commission home to build a larger family home. We didn't really want to move and it was the better option at the time. Ashburton then was becoming popular due to its excellent access to transport, shopping and excellent schools and it's proximity to wealthier Glen Iris and East Malvern. Our kids have now grown up and have wonderful careers thanks to our decision and the wonderful access and choice of schools. Government funding has provided a magnificent Pool and Recreation Centre within walking distance, child care centre, medical and dental bulk-billed facility for locals and a manned Police Station. The magnificent new playground on Victory Blvd has parents flocking from all over due to its uniqueness and fun including BBQ facilities and endless grassed surrounding areas that are dog friendly. We have the lot in Ashy Shopping Strip on High Street, great cafes, NQR, top takeaways and the freshest produce outside the markets. The old commission homes are slowly being knocked down and family homes and townhouses are becoming the norm. The area has become extremely popular and why not, it has it all!
