Elwood

"Hard to live anywhere else"

I love this neighborhood - it is hard to leave! Beautiful tree lined streets, enough cafes, restaurants and amenities to keep me happy. It's close to the beach and has a canal running through it which is great for walks/runs/cycling (although it is prone to flooding). There are several farmers markets popping up and Elwood Village has a warm friendly vibe - I come down here most days to grab a cappuccino and read the paper. It is close to other cool suburbs too - St Kilda, Balaclava, Windsor - all easily within walking distance but you probably won't want to leave! Cons - the tree lined streets are challenging for hayfever sufferers; the parking is limited; not close to trams/trains (unless you live near Brighton Rd) but there is a bus that runs fairly frequently along Glen Huntly Rd; and the cost of living is fairly inflated.
