I've grown up in Melbourne's west and thoroughly enjoy living in Altona North.
It's so peaceful you can hear the birds in the morning and yet it's just ten kilometers away from the CBD.
Newport train station is walking distance from where I live, as are many great cafes.
There are some great delis and grocers which stock excellent produce without pretentious prices and staff are extremely helpful and friendly.
I love to cook and find the Second Ave Deli and International Foods at The Circle very handy as they are walking distance from my home.
Altona North is also a very short drive to Williamstown beach where I take my dog for walks almost daily in the summer.
Everything is accessible in Altona North and the broadband in my street is excellent.
And if you allow enough distance from the refinery - you'll never know it's there!
