Having lived in the area for over 10 years we were hesitant to move with the birth of our children but at the same time, apprehensive whether it would continue to work for a family. We walk everywhere, so close to shopping and the market, excellent cafes and restaurants and so many parks to choose from and the pool. Childcare is great and there is a terrific sense of community which was part of the reason we decided to stay.

I actually initially preferred North Melbourne but I certainly now love 3003 more for it's proximity to EVERYTHING and Coles at Spencer St is a five minute drive for those big shopping trips.

Sure there are a few pan-handlers but they are essentially harmless, I feel very safe in the area, only the twits driving to the Western suburbs scare me.

If only there was a beach but hey, Port Melbourne is only a small drive away.
