We recently bought in Altona Meadows and absolutely love it here! So great to be only a few minutes from the beach, shops, cafes, schools, train and all that the amazing west has to offer.

We love being walking distance from the train station (zone 1 and express baby!) and so close to the freeway for commuting to cbd and then on the weekends we can easily pop down to Altona and Williamstown for beach / cafe life or head further south west to the surf coast in under an hour. This really is the best of all worlds!

Also, pretty close to both Melbourne airports which suits us as we love to travel.

Local shops great and easy for groceries, take out, pharmacy etc but you have heaps of options with Point Cook/ Hoppers / Werribee Plaza also close by. DH loves his bike and is also v. happy with proximity to Skeleton Creek and Hobsons Bay Coastal trails. Plenty of families use these paths for walking / cycling as it is safe option for kids and there are a few nice playground stopovers en route.

Neighbourhood feels super safe to me (mix of older folk, young families and professionals) and as first home buyers we feel super lucky to have bought a solid, freestanding home with a nice backyard this close to CBD commute, natural parkland and beach.

Good luck and happy house-hunting!
