Locals know the hidden Gem that is Footscray.....I have lived here for over 15 years and love the community spirit, the local variety and quality of restaurants, the food market, annual Festivals, Whitten Oval, Parks, bike tracks, and more. In addition it's close proximity too the City, Westfield shopping center, Beaches, the river, along with great access to public transport from buses to trams and the trains all running frequently. Housing is still very affordable, the city of Footscray is being beatified all the time with houses being restored to their former glory and council realising the importance of greening the area and beatifying local parks and malls. In under an hour to Geelong, Dandenongs or Dalesford it is set in a prime location. with only 20min drive to the airport or Beaches. I found the area to be safe during my years of residence with great schools and minimum of trucks and factories despite the constant bad reports..if anything Yarraville and Spotswood seem to have much more of these and yet it is seldom mentioned?

I would highly recommend living here if you have not yet had the pleasure, I have lived in the Eastern suburbs as well has Ascotvale and prefer Footscray any day...Please come and visit and ignore the reports from individuals who mock our beautiful city and have not even ventured across the river to visit to justify their comments unfortunately too many go by hearsay..
