Mary Street

"Yound people would love this area"

Mary Street is located in the heart of St Kilda, and runs from Beaconsfield Parade to Canterbury Road. It is one of the few streets in the area with fantastic greenery, and location is second to none. It's extremely close to beach, and very close to Fitzroy St.

There are few issues though, mostly due to homeless people, parking and noise. While there is on street parking, it can be taken up very quickly on Friday and Saturday nights with all the young people going out on Fitzroy Street. This can be very frustrating. Second of all, while most of the homeless people tend to stick up towards Fitzroy St, they do tend to wander around...but not a major issue. And finally, the street can be a little noisy.

However, these factors should deter anyone form looking to live in this visually appealing street.

Richardson Street

"One the best streets in all of Victoria"

Richardson Street in Middle Park has to be one of the finest streets in the area. Stretching all the way from Richardson St to Kerferd Rd, this amazing street in the heart of Middle Park has it all.

Simply drive down Richardson St, and you will instantly sense that this is a well looked after street. Palm trees line the pavement, and most of the houses front yards are extremely well manicured. The architecture consists of mostly well maintained housing with older brick style frontages. There are also a number of parks here, so great for taking the kids and the dog for a walk.

Another thing that you will find with Richardson St is that it has a very family friendly feel to it. During all times of the day, the wives are walking their babies in strollers down the street, and people will always say hi when you walk past.

It's also very close to some great amenities. St Joseph's church is located here for the religiously inclined, and there is always on street parking available so you won't have to fight anyone for that. One the best parts about Richardson Street is it's proximity to Armstrong St, which is hidden little gem in Middle Park. This cute little street has sleepy cafe's and restaurants perfect for those weekend afternoon's when you need that coffee fix.

And of course, you are very close the beach and who doesn't want that!!

The only downside is that because is runs parallel to Beaconsfield Parade, it is a little bit of a traffic thoroughfare, but this is if I HAD to say something negative.

I have a special place for Richardson St, and next time you are in the neighborhood, I urge you take a drive down and see what it has to offer. Richardson St in Middle Park oozes comfortable family lifestyle living, and it's my favorite street in the suburb by far!

Beach Street

"Glamourous, friendly and stunning living!!"

Beach Street is an amazing place. While it can be considered a bit of a thoroughfare, with it's many speed bumps, this does not detract from the beautiful palm tree lined perfectly manicured street. Especially down towards the Beacon Cove apartments, this street is second to none in terms of gardening in all of Melbourne.

Location is fantastic. The beach is literally 1 minute walk from all the apartment complexes, and it is somewhat hidden from the hustle and bustle of Bay Street in the center of Port Melbourne. There is a particularly beautiful set of apartments down the end of Beach Street. I think it's 155 Beach Street, and has a brown and white facade, and from the look of things, if you are living there, you are doing ok in the money stakes :) Other great points about the location is that is is very close to desired amenities, such as the IGA, and all the restaurants on Waterfront Place. Finally, at all times during the day you can see people running in their gym gear, mothers walking their babies in their prams, and people generally smiling. It's a very friendly place.

Parking can be a little difficult to find, but there are a number of side street where parking can be found. If I had to say something a little bad, it would be that there is a bit of wind, but if you are going to be in Port Melbourne, that is what you have to put up with anywhere, as you are right near the beach.

As mentioned in the review title, this is glamourous, friendly and stunning living!!

Nott Street

"Multiple personality street"

A very wide street in Port Melbourne that is extremely divided depending on which side you look AND which end you are up! On one hand, up the northern end on the right hand side (towards bay street) is beautiful townhouses, on the opposite side, there are some real tear-downs such as 185 Nott Street.

But moving closer towards Beach Street there are some magnificent apartment complexes that are really stunning such as 1 Nott Street, Port Melbourne. Also Port Food and Wine is there which has some amazing food and wines, and there is also Belong Licensed Cafe, which although pretends to be more than it is, overall it's nice.

On the flip side it is a great location as there is a church, children's school and great access to Bay Street, as well as on street parking.
