I like living in a unit complex due to the low noise and nice neighbours. The tennis court lights behind us can be a hassel as they are not always turned off at night. Though you do get an endless supply of tennis balls. So thats a plus. Unless you get hit by one...

The area is great to get to knox shopping center or just up the road from burwood 24hr kmart and coles. Also a 24hr Maccas is down the road. The local post office is the newsagent in the wantirna mall. They are open early in the day and I find it easier to use them then an actual Australia post outlet. Some really great Thai, Indian and fish n chip food really close by.

Transport isnt the greatest but I drive less then 10 mins to Heatherdale train station (HEAPS of parking) and catch the train from there. Its a breeze!!

The actual units are good. There is a thick brick wall seperating the neighbours so we rarely hear any sounds from the attached unit.

Parking can be a hassel as some units have up to 4 people living there, each with their own car. So I wouldnt really say there is much 'visitor' parking... But there have been no complaints from parking in imaginative ways (and I have never had an issue with someone being inconsiderate and parking me in) .

Their are bike pathways very close to the complex. I am very unfit and it takes me approx 40mins to ride to the train station. So anyone who's average fitness should take 20 - 30 mins. Its a lovely ride on bike paths and only 1 or 2 actual road crossings.

The local Trash and Treasure market is on every sunday within walking distance. Its really great to go to for junk and fresh fruit and veg. I love getting my weekly flowers for a bargin price!!

I think Wantirna has a great balance of city and country aspects that make it a really great place to live. I would recommend familys and quiet type of people live here. This is not the place the party hard. Its the place to have peace and quiet with everything close to hand.
