I have lived here in Albanvale for over 20 years and I have to say that it really does meet all the criteria for a great suburb. It is extremely close to both the Tullamarine Airport and Melbourne CBD, with both only about 25 minutes away. It has a local primary school and a massive adjacent reserve, Diamond Avenue Reserve. Thus, it is well suited for married couples with school aged children. There is easy access to most major arterial roads and highways - ie, Western Ring Rd, Calder, Tulla, and Hume. While it doesn't have its own train station, there are 3 train stations located in St Albans, an adjacent suburb, all of which are at most a 5 minute drive. It has a local town centre, Brimbank Central, with Aldi, Coles and Woolworths to get all your important shopping done. There is also Watergardens shopping centre, about 7 or 8 minutes, and Highpoint, about 15 minutes away, for the more fashion minded. Overall, the suburb is aesthetically appealling with mostly tree lined streets. Green spaces and parks are plentiful. It has a relatively low crime rate. It should be getting NBN soon. And for the price of housing, you couldn't ask for more.
