After living in the inner city suburbs of Prahran, Toorak and South Yarra most of my life the very thought of living anywhere else never entered my mind, until one faithful house warming that I attended in Burnside. To say that I was quite hesitant to move to the western suburbs would be an understatement, but the tree lined streets reminded me of my childhood home in Prahran and I was in awe of the beautiful homes and lifestyle. I finally made my decision to move to Burnside two years ago and I could not be happier, I sold a small property in South Yarra and was able to purchase what other people have described as a 'mansion', though not quite a mansion in the tradional sense, I must admit it is very large though. Burnside is quiet, safe and if I you drive straight down Westwood Drive/Robertsons Road and get on the Ring Road it can take under 20 minutes to get to the City, which for anyone who has lived in the inner City and has had to tolerate the traffic on a regular basis just to get some groceries is heavenly. So in summary my pros are, quiet, value for money, safe, affordability, parklands/lakes, plenty of shopping (Woodgrove, Highpoint, Burnside, Caroline Springs and Sunshine Shopping Centers all very close) and easy access to the City and airport via Ring Road. My only cons would be internet coverage, I had to change providers as my previous providers coverage would drop out from time to time and in my business that is not good enough, but since the change in my internet provider everything is perfect. I am so glad I made the move here, everyone who visits can't believe what a beautiful area it is, if you don't believe me just take a drive over the westgate one weekend to see for yourself, 5 stars!
