Leslie Street

"Vibrant, sometimes a little scary"

I've been renting a house in Leslie Street for about eight months and I really love it. I'm a young professional, living with three others in a great old house with an excellent back yard. both sets of next door neighbours are warm and friendly. There's a fair bit of noise- mostly from the construction sites on victoria st, there's a lot of apartments being built, and also from the occasional party. but I like it; the hustle and bustle is always friendly.

I have found syringes in my front yard a few times, and we've had a couple of break-ins to our cars. Nothing to the house, as yet.

parking's a drag but that's what you get the closer to the city you are. On the other hand, public transport is great, and Victoria Gardens shopping centre is just a stone's throw away. And the food! plenty of cheap Vietnamese on Victoria St and Bridge Road is an easy walk the other way.

My favourite bit is that it takes a five minute walk to be in studley park. I go there most mornings and all of a sudden you are in the middle of the bush.

Compared to living in Balwyn, the area is vibrant, friendly and exciting.
