"Delightful Dalray"
Dalray Crescent is a quiet, low-traffic street with a relaxed, family-friendly feel. It’s mostly modern homes, generally well maintained, and the street stays calm throughout the day with very little through traffic.
Neighbours tend to be long-term owner-occupiers, which gives the area a stable, respectful vibe. It’s the kind of street where kids can ride bikes and people actually notice if something feels out of place. Noise isn’t an issue, especially compared to areas closer to the freeway or main roads.
You’re close to parks, walking tracks, and New Gisborne Primary, and it’s only a short drive to Gisborne township and walking distance to the train station. It’s not a café-on-the-corner location, but that’s part of the appeal - it’s quiet and removed without feeling isolated.
Overall, Dalray Crescent is a solid, peaceful street suited to families or anyone wanting a calmer residential pocket in New Gisborne.

"Slow pace and charm"
Gisborne feels like a proper small town with a strong sense of community. There's a walkable centre with cafes, shops, schools, parks, and the train station all close by, which makes day-to-day life easy.
It's green, family-friendly, and active without feeling hectic. You get enough buzz to feel connected, but it still holds onto that relaxed country-town feel that makes it very liveable.

"Quiet, leafy and picturesque"
New Gisborne feels like the quieter, more relaxed sibling of Gisborne township. It's green, spacious, and calm, with bigger blocks and plenty of breathing room.
You don't move here for cafes on your doorstep or a busy main street - you move here for peace, privacy, and a slower pace.
Everything's a short drive away, but day-to-day life is quiet and low-key. If you like space, nature, and not feeling on top of your neighbours, it’s a great place to be.

"Bayside living without the crowds"
Parkdale gives you the best of both worlds — a relaxed beachside vibe with city access in about half an hour. Locals love the easy lifestyle here: morning walks along the sand, grabbing coffee from the village strip, and fish and chips by the water.
It’s family-friendly too, with great schools, plenty of parks, and sporting clubs that actually bring people together. The train and Nepean Highway make getting around simple, and Southland’s just up the road when you need more shopping.
The real draw? You get that holiday feel every day, without the hustle of the busier bayside suburbs.

"The quiet and peaceful sister of St Kilda"
This suburb has all the best of St Kilda, and none of the bad. Great cafes and restaurants along Carlisle St, butchers, fresh fruit and veg grocers, bargain discount shops...yet none of the backpacker hostels or dirty nightclubs that is found in St Kilda.
The result - a place for young singles and families alike to enjoy pleasant and peaceful inner city living.
Great for
- Close to Melbourne city and St Kilda Beach
- Excellent public transport options.
- Great shopping/ cafes/ restaurants - and don't forget the bagels
Not great for
- Car traffic in Carlisle Street can become congested at times due to the trams.
