Willana Avenue is full of homes built in the 50's and 60's. Great for renovators, young couples and singles, or builders and developers. Running off of Vines Road which supplies you with a supermarket, chemist, post office, butcher, milk bar and others, while also having Bus services along Vines Road means you have everything at your doorstep.
Also boasts close access to the Ring Road for Melbourne Commuters.
A disused train line at the other end of the street also is used as a walking / cycling track.
A suburb on the up.

A wide tree lined street with large blocks and large homes on them. The homes are some of the nicest in the area with period features combined with modern delights. Very central running off Shannon Avenue. Walk to Pakington Street for shopping; it even has a supermarket located at the end of the street for convenience.
Public transport and many schooling options for children complete the package.

If you pick nearly any street in Manifold Heights you will find it to be tree-lined and leafy, rather quiet apart from the main thoroughfares which you trade off quietness for the convenience of supermarkets, doctors and chemists, take away foods and other handy shopping. The sort of suburb that everybody wants to live in with its renovated period homes, as well as the very modern homes with all the modern conveniences; either style allows for beautiful streetscapes. Private and public schools surround the area.
Excellent access to the Geelong CBD via Aberdeen Street. Its also close to Geelong Train Station and Geelong Bypass to the west for travelling either north or south, Melbourne or the Surfcoast.

Investing and living in Herne Hill is great idea. It once was seen as the far west Fringe of Geelong and with the Cement Works operating, just your average suburb. Since the cement works has gone, Fyansford at the base of the hill is opening up Residential developments, the Geelong Bypass has opened and provided great access no matter what direction; Herne Hill has experienced excellent capital growth. Similar to Hamlyn Heights, its a great area for families or investors to purchase in a position that is still just 10 minutes to Geelong Centre. Also its a handy location being close to Pakington Street and Shannon Avenue shopping precincts. Might I say also, handy to be close to Queens Park Golf Course for anyone who likes to whack a golfball.

Buying a house and moving the family in to Hamlyn Heights can only be described as a great decision. The majority of streets are leafy and the blocks are all a good size. Access is fantastic to the city with bus routes running through out the suburb and along the major connecting roads of Church Street, Ballarat Road/Midland Highway, and the Geelong Ring Road (for Melbourne Commuters and for easy access to the Surfcoast. Vines Road and Minerva Road provides the handy shops such as Newsagency, Milk bars, Fish and Chip shop and other convenient shops.
Good schooling for primary and secondary students and some lovely architecture from yesteryear cap off a great suburb.

Bell Park is centered around Seperation Street, Midland Highway, Anakie Road, to the north west of Geelong. It has been a well held area for many years with many original property owners staying in the same place since around the 60's and 70's. Over the past few years original owners are moving on and leaving good opportunities for young couples and families to move in and either renovate homes or demolish and build modern units given that the land sizes are all reasonably generous (around 600+m2 as an average). The majority of shops are located on the major streets of Seperation Street as well as Anakie Road with the Bell Post Shopping Centre (includes Safeway, Newsagent, Bakers Delight and many others). There are also some smaller strip shopping in places such as Hughes Street and Milton Street, which feature nice smaller supermarkets, butchers, greengrocers etc. There are a good mix of private and public schools, kindergartens, daycares in the immediate and adjoining area making it a great spot for families.
The biggest problem for Bell Park is the traffic that runs along the major streets (Anakie Road, Seperation Street, Thomson Road) with a few hoons using the road. Other than that good access to Geelong, Melbourne and the Ring Road makes it good for travellers.
