Reservoir

"Affordable and close to the city"

I moved to Reservoir about six months ago and I really like it. It's great to be only a 30 minute train ride from the city, and the bike path means I can cycle to work in the city safely (Along the Epping line, then down the middle of St George's Rd). If the proposal to extend the Gilbert Rd tram line (No 112) goes ahead, public transport options will be even better.

Preston Market is close by and there are lots of great places to eat out in Preston as well. not to mention a great pizza place near Reservoir station! Jackson Dodds (Gilbert Rd) is the first trendy cafe to open up - I'm certain that it's the first of many as the coffee drinkers are priced out of Coburg and Preston.

There's an interesting mix of apartments, town houses and old Californian bungalows. Edwardes Lake Park is great for a jog.

Somewhat lacking in nightlife (apart from the TAB and the RSL!) but Northcote and Brunswick are not too far away.

I'm looking forward to see how Reservoir develops in the next few years.
