      doesn't altona have a sewage plant in it? I can't remember.

    The people who live in Point Cook claim that its the Toorak of the west! But hat area is not for me!

    • kracken on 09/02/2021 - 22:45

      too much crime?

        Too far away from the CBD and overrated + boring IMHO.
        No nearby train station. The one that is driveable is very unsafe and yeah crime!

        it's more about having that once or twice a year incident on the princes that took you til midnight to get home.

    Moonee Ponds/Essendon probably.

    In no particular order

    -expensive areas (All great areas to live)-
    Williamstown
    Altona
    Sedan
    Essendon
    Moonee Ponds
    Maribyrnong
    Seaholm
    Yarraville

    -Cheaper areas that are 'not bad'-
    Keilor
    Caroline Springs
    Taylors Lakes
    Keilor East
    West Footscray (debatable - location to the city makes it brilliant)
    Point Cook

    • Muzeeb on 10/02/2021 - 10:51

      Sedan

      I think it's spelt Sudan (also called Tarneit).

      Maybe it was Seddon?

      • Trying2SaveABuck on 10/02/2021 - 11:24

        I did but Seddon but it must of auto corrected i posted on my mobile

    I like the Kingsville/Yarraville area. Lots of nice classic looking homes, tree-lined streets, and it’s mostly yuppies living there.

      Agreed. Lived in Yarraville for 3 years, it was great. Very close to get to either side of the city via the Westgate or along Footscray road.
      Traffic also wasn’t bad on that side of the city!

    Newport?

    Big plus of the west is no east side sissies

    I think Williamstown would be the nicest suburb to live in out West if money was no object. Personally Yarraville is more my vibe though.

    Sunshine is the best you’ll get on the west side.

    Best to buy bargains? Why would you post in OzB asking this open ended question.

    Otherwise this is another Cat & Alice conversation, where do you want to go…

    Sanctuary Lakes would definitely be the Toorak of the west. The rest of Point Cook is highly overvalued in my opinion its pretty much the same as any of the other newly developed suburbs in the west (like Tarniet, Manor lakes, etc) and the road bottlenecks there are a MAJOR pain.

    • lgacb08 on 10/02/2021 - 23:00

      sanctuary lakes, whilst nice, have pretty much the same traffic issue as Point Cook.

        Not disagreeing with that. Just saying Sanctuary Lakes at least LOOKS like it could have the title of "Toorak of the west". But the rest of Point Cook looks like any other newly developed suburb in the west, people living there act like its all great but I think its exaggerated and that traffic bottleneck makes its actually worse than some of the nearby suburbs

  • Cheaplikethebird on 10/02/2021 - 15:50

    Prices on the west side just went up.

    Flemington, Kensington?

    Newport - right next to Williamstown but the house prices are better.
    Main train station.
    Huge reserve with a lake that feels like you are in the bush but 10 mins to the CBD…
