Good for families with young kids, close to schools both public and private/catholic schools. Lots of sports clubs nearby. Plenty of small shops to go to. Multi cultural. We moved here 10+ years ago. We considered moving and have checked suburbs in the Northeast because we wanted a bigger block of land but it is more convenient to live here. I work near the city and I don’t want to go on a morning and afternoon traffic specially we have small kids to drop off and pick up at school/childcare. In this area that I live in Lalor is just 5 to 7 minutes drive to Costco and Epping Plaza but I still love to go to the local butcher shop, coffee shops, and visit the small shops around. People are alright different cultures but mostly decent people. I once left my shopping bag/car and house keys in one of the shops, I went back and approached the lady who works there she handed me my bag and said the guy found it on the table. Like other places there are of course some rotten tomatoes around luckily I haven’t met one yet.

10 minutes drive to Northern Hospital too. Transport to city is excellent both public or private. The con like any other suburb in Melbourne on taking the train is the parking, it is hard to find a parking spot after 8 am.

CBD is 18 kms away only.
