Altona has truly fantastic parks and open space and lovely places to go for a walk and relax. There are great sporting amenities and there are no hassles in parking at the shops and Altona has a good train and bus transport system especially for those going to Melbourne. People are friendly and polite but respectful of your own. If you are wanting to out down roots and buy some land then Altona offers very good sized blocks and space to grow and breathe and is miles more affordable than Williamstown which is priced rather pretentiously. There seems to be quiet a bit of development recently and presumably developers have aims to attract young singles and professionals to the Altona because they realise it is a very well kept secret and one the most undervalued suburbs by a mile and much quieter and family oriented than Williamstown which tends to be more oriented to those looking for bars, the cafe society and yuppy experience.
