Rue

This is one of those perfect finds, a gorgeous little picturesque pocket between Glenroy and Broadmeadows. It's an established area which seems to have recently been rediscovered. Young couples and young families are moving in along side those who have retired and chosen to stay put (and why wouldn’t you). Jacana is perched atop a stunning valley. A great place to walk the dog, play a bit of cricket or footy or go for your morning walk or jog. There's a fantastic walking/bike track that winds along side the Moonee Ponds creek all the way to the city - it's a great ride. And if you're too tired to ride back simply hop on the train back to Jacana. Jacana is well placed for the essentials, the Broadmeadows shopping centre, schools both public and private and public transport (train and bus) and 15 minutes on the freeway and I’m in the city. And no perfect find is complete without a great local cafe. Recently opened Boops café is a hop skip and a jump away. Boasting the best coffee in the north, the guys really know their stuff. I pop in regularly for my Saturday morning fix; it’s got a great vibe and an amazing menu.
