KM11

Bought a house here last year after previously living in Rochmond, St.Kilda & Flemington so I was expecting a big change of lifestyle. I heard so many negative things from people (mainly people living in the east) regarding western suburbs. I must say to anyone wanting an honest review, do not listen to anyone who hasn't lived there as you will only get uneducated comments. Firstly I need to say I heard so much about the traffic and how terrible the west is and I can tell you now it is nowhere near as congested as East. Yes if you live in Point Cook/Point Cook Bend it gets congested but if you are in Wyndham Vale, Werribee & Hoppers your traffic time is not worse than the East, that is my opinion from travelling everyday during peak hours I get home way earlier than my colleagues in the East. I find this suburb great overall. You have everything you need. The large Pacifc Werribee shopping centre is just 5 mins drive away including the home maker outlets along Old Geelong Road. Endless amounts of choices for everyday grocery shops in wyndham vale and surrounding suburbs. Very close to two stations (Wyndham Vale & Werribee) giving you the choice of multiple lines to use during peak hour. Great choice of schools. Fantastic parks to walk your dog including the Presidents Park which is absolutely lovely both summer and winter. It has children's playground, sports facilities, fenced dog park, a lake which has a decent walking track around it and entrance to Werribee river. You also have Werribee South beach short drive away. The Avalon airport is close and very handy for cheaper interstate flights. The list goes on. The only difference I felt when moving here was the busy night life. There isn't a huge amount of options although some bars in Werribee and Hoppers however you would be best hopping on the train for a night out. Overall I seriously think this suburb is a hidden gem and one to watch out for in the next few years. I would happily encourage people to invest or live here if asked
