Thanks to Williamstown and Yarraville reputation, Newport has been kept as a well hidden gem, mistaken for Altona West and luckily attracting professionals and young families to it's nest :)in last 5 years as the prices are not that high (well, hm , hm for that)... 10 minutes to all the cool spots that Melbourne has to offer, we love it! We used to live in Yarraville (5 years) and didn't find the trucks fun anymore, and when opportunity knocked , we bought our home on North rd. Just seeing the view toward the city over the river when you are standing on the North rd-it's a breathtaking, and then ship passes by...well it's nice to know you own a peace of that view!
Love the proximity to the train station, there is Yoga centre, Nosh caffee,Junction hotel got facelift.. on the other side of the train there is the Substation(artists market) and toward The Strand there is cool cafe " The Pint of milk"... All in all not to shabby and few minutes from the beach, parks city, shops and public transport :)

I love that train is so conveniently connecting City, Williamstown beach and Werribee line. We were pleasantly surprised to find oasis of Newport Lakes and Miniature Railway attraction.
But I find that the shops on the Hall st could get speedier facelift as it for some mysterious reason doesn't even come close to it's peak potential. It could be vibrant and popular caffe packed street , but it's not. Why it isn't so when there is strong market for that- beats me :( But there is Yoga centre, Nosh caffe,Junction hotel got facelift...so it's improving... On the other side of the train there is the Substation(artists market) and toward The Strand there is cool cafe " The Pint of Milk"... All in all not to shabby for a suburb a few minutes from the beach, parks city, shops and public transport :)
