Lara offers a basic but convenient shopping complex, easy access to Lara Train Station and Melbourne, and a variety of pleasant parks. The area also provides solid employment opportunities, making it a practical choice for families and professionals alike.

Pretty average regional suburb with minimal amenities, poor public transport, and limited employment and work opportunities. Rent is overpriced, ranging from $480 to $600, to live in this isolated pocket of regional Victoria. This suburb is more suited to retirees and the elderly.
