We love it here after moving from Hawthorn just under a year, after many months of searching for a suburb for raising two girls, and of course a place close to school ... for a primary school and secondary college for my two girls. Looks like any where you stay in Viewbank, you can walk to school. My elder daughter just love Viewbank College with good manner schoolmates around, and supportive, experienced teachers, no wonder Viewbank College is one of the top ten public school in Victoria!

It is small suburb with lot of characters, mostly professional with families, mainly who work in the city as IT professionals, professors, programmers, a few city cafe owners, ... and a few medical scientists! A brainy place to be, I presumed. Maybe because it is close to Yarra Park, Yarra river ... a place to ponder while walking along the trail.

The house prices are getting pricey though because of the school zone and a good place to raise a family.
