House prices drove us further out than we had hoped for but I think it was a blessing in disguise ;) We bought a period house on a bigger block, 5 min walk to station & near a park for almost 400K less than a place one suburb over. 20min train ride to CBD or ride the Merri Creek trail.
Love Coburg Lake, the little village events in Merlynston, coffee from the generator, 8th nerve or Jack & Daisy (strictly speaking thats in Pascoe Vale). A good place for kids, lots of playgrounds, green spaces & good childcare.
No nightlife (unless you count the parties at the velodrome) and a huge industrial pocket around batman are downsides.
