Vermont South

"Burwood Hwy Vermont South - pretty good for a highway living"

Living on a highway has its advantages and disadvantages, the latter almost always traffic, noise and pollution. Burwood Hwy, Vermont South is unique in some ways in that it sits between Eastlink and Springvale Road intersections. The result is we experience normal peak hour city bound between 7am and 9am then Knox bound between 4pm and 6pm but otherwise, traffic is very mild and mainly passenger vehicles. Heavy vehicles rarely use this section of the highway so diesel pollution is almost non existent.

Having access to the highway is great if you run a home business with easy access to your customers, free parking on the service road highway frontage. Night traffic is very low except between midnight and 2 pm Friday and Saturday nights as people return home from going out. Occasional speedsters are usually caught by the police who lie in wait for them so we rarely see this type of activity here.

Vermont South shops, Bunnings, Trams and Buses are right at our doorstep or a short walk if you live between Hanover Rd and Morack Rd. The highway is 3 lanes either side with a large separation strip that will soon form the extended tram line to Knox City. The area by the side of the road has large established trees and greenery. The view Knox bound to Mount Dandenong is very inviting. Vermont Southians are generally very nice people and make great neighbours.

There are plenty of medical facilities including doctors, dental, specialists, xray etc, Vermont High and Emmaus secondary schools, very fast internet, heaps of parks and fresh air walking/bike tracks all in a clean and green environment. This area has very good safety appeal too.

There's not much in nightlife and restaurants here however there's plenty to do in nearby Glen Waverley and Knox City. I'm guessing the lack of nightlife is a strong point in making Vermont South such a liveable suburb. Check it out if you don't mind highway living.

Seaview Avenue

"Beautiful bay, a magnificent Marina and a great place to live"

Seaview Avenue commences off the Nepean Hwy at Dromana and continues all the way to the Martha Cove Marina. Seaview avenue is a mix of permanant and holiday homes making for a relaxed and peaceful environment. This review will concentrate on the Martha Cove end of Seaview Avenue.

Being a beachside road and depending on your position, Seaview Ave offers great water views of the Marina, Mount Martha, Arthurs Seat and Dromana Bay. Your day would start with a walk along the Marina, a walk along the coast line of Dromana Bay or perhaps boating out on the bay. The area is flat so it's a great surface for long walks and most evenings you will see the locals out for a 'passagiatta' to take in the beautiful sunset over the bay.

With nearby Dromana and Mornington just a short drive or bus ride away, shopaholics should be satisfied. A new shopping precinct for the Martha Cove Marina will be built in 2010 offering an array of restaurants, cafe's, a supermarket and shops.

There's plenty to do along this stretch of the Mornington Peninsula. Lovers of the beach, wineries, restaurants, water sports, fishing, recreation and sight seeing will never run out of things to do. Nearby Red Hill has a local market that attracts visitors from around the state. Sorento and Portsea are major tourist destinations and just a short drive from Seaview Avenue. Catch a ferry to Queenscliff for the day or have lunch at the famous Portsea Hotel where you can mix with the rich and famous.

We don't see too much traffic as most of the holiday makers use Marine Drive to move between destinations so traffic is usually residents and sightseers to the Marina.

Seaview Avenue offers peace and quiet, a friendly neighborhood, one of the best beaches on the peninsula, a beautiful marina, shops and some of the pleasant scenery. This is a great place to live and relax.

North Road

"Affordable and great place to live"

Langwarrin is located just a short drive from Frankston city and the beach, and just a 20 minute drive to the beautiful Morington Peninsula. North Rd stretches from the Dandenong/Hastings Rd and almost all the way to Frankston. The section of North Rd Langwarrin is close to convenience stores, newsagent, hairdresser, food shops, schools, parks and recreational places.

Landwarrin shops and Frankston city stores are just a short drive or bus ride away so there's plenty to do for shopaholics. Nightlife is abound in nearby Frankston as are thousands of shops, malls, restaurants, cafe's and one of the best beaches in Victoria!.

The nearby Langwarrin shopping centre is huge with supermarkets, clothes shops, hairdressers, cafe's and more. A large Mitre10 hardware store will please the men in the family and if they need more, Bunnings is just a 5 minute drive away.

The area includes sports centres, VFL football, tennis and just about any other sport you can think off. The nearby cultral and arts centre in Frankston will appease those with a fine taste of live theatre and culutral shows. Cinemas and the like are close by too. All up, a great place to live if you want quiet living on one hand, and everything else on the other.
