I've lived in Coral Avenue now for five years, and it's easily the most friendly street I've live in since I moved to Melbourne in 1995. Most of the neighbours know each other, and we'll make a point of getting to know you if you are new to the neighbourhood. The street is really kid friendly, with parents of one lot, volunteering to look after another lot, if their parents want to get out for a few hours. We have a yearly street party in November once the weather is warmer, and the council closes down the street so we can do so. It's close enough to walk to Highpoint if you feel up to it, otherwise it's a 5 minute car trip. You are close to Flemington, the Maribyrnong River, and there are a number of parks close by. It's ten minutes to the City via Footscray Road, and it's only 30 minutes to the Airport. The houses are all Cal Bungalows, that with some work, represent a great real estate investment. You are a stones throw from the Hospital, and bus/tram stops which deliver you directly to the centre of Footscray and the train station. The North Footscray Primary is just across Ballarat Road, and Footscray Secondary is a 10 minute walk away on Farnsworth Ave. Child Care is close by, and we are just about to use it. All in all, it's a well located and very friendly street, and one I highly recommend.
