Vic Best and worst areas of Melbourne?

[Frank Bunn]

Yarraville for the most part is really nice as long as you aren't on or near Hyde Street with the trucks. Yarraville gardens once again would be full of junkies and now is full of families. Spewing they got rid of the food trucks

The Sun Theatre is my favourite place to watch a movie. But I guess you don't have to live there.

 

[FRUMPY]

Nobody else thinks it’s a thing. Definitely a you thing

There are days the area definitely stinks when driving through

Always get the 'ahhh who farted?' from the kids

It definitely smells passing through Werribee when on the Princes.

 

[peternorth]

Yes also sense the stench around the west gate slash ring road. Near the abattoir I believe

 

[footyfan1978]

He probably just got used to it and does not notice it himself.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

If you want suburbs that stink, the ones near the Eastern Treatment plant are a dozen times worse. No debate.

Yeah that little pocket around Anderson street is great

Back towards Brooklyn around where the Princess Fwy and Ring Road meet

Over the passed few years the smell has subsided but can still be s**t on a bad day

Ballarat?

Ballarat?

Nah the long way into the city (which can be shorter in time some days)

I grew up in the outer (but not outer, outer) east and have bought and settled with the family in the north-east, the little pocket of Greensborough that's part of Nillumbik, near Plenty and Diamond Creek.

I've fallen in love with the area in no time. Lots of my friends are heading bayside to places like Beaumaris and no doubt they're more sought-after, but each to their own: I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. It's hilly as around here, but I like that, it reminds me of where I grew up.

Yeah, I suspect if you grew up anywhere near Yarra Valley region the hilly suburbs out that North way is not a bad alternative at all. Growing up in the bush as a kid is really nice way to grow up and it fairly natural to want the same when you have kids so they can grow up to experience something similar.

I grew up in Wheelers Hill. There's nothing there. Even nostalgia for the place I spent my childhood in can't hide what a cultural backwater it is. Bland as all get out.

It had its moment when stuck on traffic on Jells Road to get to VFL Park on a Saturday at 1 in the arvo before a big match of Carlton and Collingwood or Essendon.

Footy at Waverley Park was the best thing about the area. I saw some great games there. Once Waverly closed as an AFL venue there was nothing worthwhile in that neck of the woods.

No woods there. Just houses and modern roads and a few shopping centres. It would be very boring suburb to live in after the football left there.
Comfortable but boring in terms of nothing unique or any real connection to bushland before cleared and turn into suburbia. It not close enough to inner city or bush. Middle of nowhere in a lot of ways but still nicer than something more bland like Melton.

Jells Park is the best thing about the area now.

Living in Blackburn for awhile now, absolutely lovely suburb. Right across from a supermarket, shops, kids kinder and specialist 2 mins away, train station 1.5km away. Green and very quiet

Yep. True. Although it is close to east link and the glen.

But a suburb with basics that’s about it. Interesting growing up very close to there how glen waverley and WH have developed together.

Nice part of town. Blacky lake offers nature. Always felt blacky rd between Canterbury and Whitehorse was leafy and green back when. Kinda still is.

Specialist ? As in stores?

I feel it is a safe area also.
