Nice street in a great part of Cheltenham, plane noise can be a problem during certain times during the day but it's not as bad as some make out it to be and once you have lived here you wont even notice. Some people just like to have a whinge or have a reason to bad mouth a suburb if you are interested in this street come down and here the planes for yourself. Safe area and apart from the Beaumaris side of Cheltenham near Weatherall rd i believe its the best part. The park at the end of Farm rd is a gem. Safe and a great place to raise a family.

One of the best streets in Cheltenham. Great quiet street and area. This side of Farm rd is very quiet and has a great community spirit. Its safe and secure and great if you have little kids with parks, beaches, pools, schools and child care places near by. Milkbar has great coffee and is a good place to meet the locals in summer. There is a beautiful park at the end of Farm rd and the DFO side is fantastic if you have kids with play equipment, bbq's, toilets and shelter etc. Fantastic part of Cheltenham we love it.

We have lived in Barclay dr Cheltenham for over 4 years and absolutely love it. Our part of Cheltenham is quiet, safe and has such an old fashioned friendly atmosphere that you can't help but be happy. We are surrounded by neighbours that dont just say hello but help out when needed invite you around for a bbq look after your house when your away etc etc when do you hear of that happening in this day and age, we love the feel this area has its just such a great vibe.

The milkbar on Farm rd makes great coffee and in summer is a great place to catch up for a chat with the locals. Great parks, the park at the end of Farm rd is a nice place to take a stroll its well landscaped with a running creek bed and is a nice place to be on a sunny day. If you have kids the other end of the park (DFO side) has plenty of equipment and bbq's and is a great spot to meet other parents.

Plenty of child care places in and around Cheltenham, heaps of play centres too, the local schools have a very good reputation so the area is fantastic for anyone with kids.

If you love water the beach is a 5 minute drive away we also have heaps of pools near by if thats more your thing.

The city is 30 mins away by car and about the same by train Cheltenham is an express station so it takes no time to get to the city public transport is pretty good all round.

We don't seem to have many rentals in our part of Cheltenham many people have been here over 20 years which gives it a nice feel we don't seem to get any troubles which makes living here peaceful. No hoons down our way in fact we were surprised how quiet the back streets are considering you are in the middle of suburbia.

What we don't like the planes would be on top of that list but when you buy near an Airport what do you expect! It was the one thing we were worried about when we bought but after living here its nowhere near as bad as what some people would have you believe. Dingley Village and Parkdale/Mordialloc seem to cop the brunt of the aircraft noise but it is noticable during the day if you are home. Where we are we are lucky as the planes seem to use the golf course/soccer field as the flight path which leaves us with much less air traffic than what you would expect. You never here any planes at night so sleeping is never a problem but for a couple of hours during the day you will cop some noise we are usually at work so its never been an issue for us. The other thing we don't like is trying to get a car parking spot in Southland go anywhere near it in peak times and it will test your patience.

While its not perfect (where is?) overall though we love Cheltenham and would recommend it to anyone especially if you have kids.
