"The best city in Australia!"
I love Melbourne. I was born here but my family moved us to Brisbane when I was around 12. I spent 15 years in Brisbane followed by a couple in London & a few years in Sydney and only now do I feel I have found HOME. Our city has everything. Culture, sport, green gardens, friendly people, trams, pretty good coffee, alley ways, diverse suburbs, a great music scene, art (and particular street art) and (of course) unpredictable weather. A lot of people don't 'get' Melbourne but that's fine. Our city is subtle; it's not overt or in your face. Around me I see history, beautiful architecture (especially when compared to Brisbane where the attitude in the 90's was to pull anything old down) and I love the fact that every suburb has a different feel. I love the passion of the people. I don't see the fickle nature of some Sydneysiders when it comes to supporting a band, a team, a political party (I could go on). I think our city is great & I certainly don't plan to live anywhere else.

Another problem with the area is all the dual occupancies.....ruined things, too busy, hard to park outside you own home in some places......
If you live near the 58 tram it's great !!! Takes you from Bell street to the leafy elite suburb of Toorak - passing shops, the zoo, royal park and golf, hockey centers, through the city, then into leafy St Kilda Rd where you can disembark and tram almost anywhere or just stay on the tram into Toorak ... past some of Melbournes most elite schools, and many fantastic restaurants, cafes and interesting places along the route. Cant think of a better tram route .,.,or more convenient place than Pascoe Vale South ......so safe .... family friendly..,,,,and so close to the city .... Luv it
"Beautiful street. Wide road, lots of double fronted houses and big back yards. I love living here!"

correct its not a place for someone without a car as walking wise there is limited shopping.
HOWEVER the benefit is a place thats safer and not noisey!
