I moved to Maidstone with my partner just before the pandemic started in February 2020, and it was a very lucky choice. Having lived in West Melbourne and Footscray, we found Maidstone quieter. There's an excellent coffee shop down the road and Highpoint is easily accessible.

What I really love about this place is that I can walk down to a quieter part of the Maribyrnong river, where everything is green. It was just so good to be so close to nature while in lockdown.

As I return to work in the city, I ride my bike in with a bike path that runs down the Maribyrnong river and connects to Dynon road and takes you into the city.

It's really a great affordable and green spot.
