"The best in the West"
Seabrook is a tiny commuter suburb located
in between Altona Meadows, Laverton, Point Cook and Williams Landing. It is governed by Hobsons Bay Council which means considerably cheaper rates than Point Cook (Wyndham City Council).
However, being so close to Point Cook means you have easy access to its facilities (three shopping centers).
Seabrook has easy access to the freeway and a well regarded primary school and kindergarten which makes Seabrook ideal for a young family.
The neighbours keep to themselves and tend to pride in maintaining their garden.
Great for
- Proximity to Melbourne CBD
- Proximity to Point Cook Town Center
- Seabrook Primary School
- Friendly Neighbourhood
- Park, Playground and tennis court
Who lives here?
- Professionals
- Singles

"Rundown suburb"
This suburb is relatively small compared to Newtown thus it lacks amenities. It is littered with graffiti and buildings that could do with a makeover.

"Burdened with a stigma"
A very diverse suburb burdened with a stigma which it has been unable to shake. If you don't need to live near the CBD it's ideal.
Great for
- Frankston High School
- Monash University
- Chisolm Institute of TAFE
- Beachside suburb
- Good value
- Infrastructure & transport
- Parks, beaches & facilities
Not great for
- Limited free parking
- People's misconceptions
- Shops on Nepean Hwy need freshening up
- Extremely under priced

"Ideal for homebodies"
I've lived in Altona (three blocks from the beach) for just over two years now.
Altona is very quiet leafy suburb that is slowly being gentrifed which means it's slowly becoming to expensive for the average Australian. It's really ideal for a homebodies because it lacks a cafe culture despite having a beach. The restaurants are all subpar or just overpriced. Shops are nothing special there's a weekly street market.
It's reasonably safe. I only had my car keyed once and only seen graffiti along the train line. The neighbours tend to mind their own business and stick to themselves. The Internet connection tends to dropout (I've had both Optus and Telstra). From time to time you can smell the seaweed from the beach. The beach has free parking all year round which is a definite plus.
Great for
- No need for CCTV
- Free off street parking
- Proximity to CBD, 3 Zone 1 Train Stations, No throughput traffic, Safe & Quiet, Low Population Density
- Bayside, Huge Cherry Lake, 3 Rivers, Nature Reserves, Parks, Large open spaces
- Many sports clubs, Arts & Community Centre, Theatre, Museum, Golf course, Bayside Festival, Beach Market, many recreation activities
- Perfect lifestyle for any age or interests
- Friendly residents & great community feel
Not great for
- Poor Internet connection
- Bias, prejudice & lack of knowledge towards this suburb
- Oil Refinery & Industries - but these are located fairly far away from residential areas
- Has seaweed problems

Hi, just wondering, does the seaweed's smell effect the whole area? at some particular months or the whole year ? Thank you, LOoking forward to move to altona :D
The dead seaweed smell appears towards summer. I could smell it from the Birdcage estate (all the streets have bird names).
Can I use these personal stats in an information report???
