Glen street is a pretty street, with well maintained houses (for the most part). Most places would be about 50 years old, and built to last. The occasional new townhouse doesn't draw attention to itself.

The street is quiet, with only local traffic passing through it. It is far enough from the train line to only hear the occasional hum of the V-Line, and equally well placed in relation to the Western Ring Road.

A 15 minute walk to the train, or if driving, access to the station's ample parking without having to cross any tracks makes for convenient travel to the city. And easy access to the eateries on Wheatsheaf road ensure take away can be picked up, paid for and returned to home within 15 minutes.

A great little street.

Glenroy is a relatively quiet little suburb that is surprisingly close to the city. Distance-wise, it is on par with Sandringham, yet it is still in Zone 1. Citylink allows quick access to the city and further south, and Bell street gets you to the leafy east just as easily.

A growing list of eateries allows for variety when you can't be bothered cooking - although we rarely stray from Wheatsheaf Road's Veneziana, our pizzeria of choice. Glenroy is also home of the best Kebab I've ever had, bought from the Kebab House, on the corner of Pascoe Vale and Glenroy roads. They also have a great range of dips (the chilli one is awesome if you like it hot!)

There are three major supermarkets (Coles, IGA and Safeway), and a number of smaller grocers.

With new townhouses popping up all over the place it is clear that Glenroy is undergoing a transformation, and is becoming more and more popular for the affluent but not excessively rich.

Glenroy has everything you need and then some. The only sore spot - lack of any decent nightlife - is easily remedied with a short train ride to Essendon, Moonee Ponds or the city itself.

I couldn't recommend this suburb more.
