Hampton

"Love this suburb"

Ooo, what's there not to love! Close the beach, transport, major roads, eateries and shops to name a few. Its a great suburb with a great mix of people. Hampton street has everything you need. Lots of top schools and child care options. With the Sandringham train line it is only a 25 minute train ride into the city. Southland Shopping centre is about 4km away. Lots of medical centres and doctors around. If you are looking for a Brighton alternative, well I think you may have just found it.

Point Cook

"Choose carefully"

After living in point cook since January 2009 to December 2010, the changes to the suburb are substantial. Towards the late part of 2010 I had to leave at least 30 minutes earlier to get to work at the same time that I did in 2009! And no I didn't drive into the city. Depending on where you chose to live be mindful of the woeful internet connection problems you may have - however Alamada estate (where I lived) had fiber optic cabelling for paytv and internet plus your own club house (pool and gym) if you wanted to pay the extra fees per year. Point Cook road and Palmers to a certain extent can turn into carparks which can add up to many minutes to your trip - again this is dependent on when you leave home and where you live in the suburb. In my opinion there are some parts of PC that can be a bit ''ghetto'' with unkept front lawns, poorly parked cars etc - but this can happen anywhere I guess. The town centre is great - everything you need with a short trip to Werribee / Hoppers if you need anything more.
The post office can be a hit and miss sometimes - queues out the door and others very quiet. There is a waiting list of 30 to get a PO box mind you.
Lots of parks, walk ways, child care centres and schools. Housing affordability in comparison to other major cities great. However, I would hate to think what it will be like in 5 years time if the infrastructure is not upgraded ASAP.
