I’ve lived in Glenroy for 2 years now. I’m a single professional and I chose this suburb as it’s affordable, has a train station within walking distance and is not too far from the city. At the time my other choices were Fawkner and Reservoir. My neighbours are quiet and generally keep to themselves. I haven’t felt unsafe walking the streets or being around the train station at night. One the negatives is the rubbish I see on the street verges that have been blown out from the bins.

Majority of my time has been working from home during the lockdowns. The suburb has all the basic services and amenities you need. During lockdown I rarely left Glenroy as everything is in walking distance. There’s range of grocery stores, restaurants/cafes, pharmacies, bulk bill medical centre, pathology, op shops, bargain stores, barbershop, nail salon, library, etc. I go to RedRock Natural Therapies on Wheatsheaf Rd for remedial massages, Chris is the best! For everything else you need it’s probably in a nearby suburb.

There’s some nice parks around and I really like walking the Moonee Ponds Creek trail. I don’t play sports, but I’ve seen people play social tennis at the club on Melbourne Ave and the Northern Golf Club looks nice for a swing. You wouldn’t expect to see a golf club in an average suburb.
I know there’s a couple primary schools and a high school in Glenroy, but can’t comment as I don’t have kids.
