We moved to Seabrook after spending almost a year looking around in 2018
Its is located relatively close to Melbourne CBD (around 20 kms) and train takes about 26 mins (peak time office hours)
Our experience living here has been really positive , Seabrook has a beautiful skeleton creek for your walks, dog & bike rides
There is also Seabrook Cricket club, foot ground as well (Bruce Comben Reserve), additionally there are public Tennis courts as well !
For golf lovers there are 3 golf courses around Seabrook, one in Aircraft , one is Kooringal Golf Club and lastly Sanctuary Lakes , heaven for golfers !
Seabrook Primary is really a great school with a rating over 98 (last time we checked)
Beach is not far, Altona beach is around 5 kms (under 10 mins) , Williamstown is a bit around 20 mins (is an option for the weekends !)
There is a good presence of working class families in this area, which is really positive overall, have always come across really friendly people, especially the older residents in Seabrook , always up for a chat !
Train Station is really convenient as well, Aircraft or Laverton, both are walkable (Aircraft is around 1 km, and Laverton 1.5km) , you can also cycle , there is a cycle storage at Laverton station , Even parking spaces at Laverton are ample , I have found parking at 8:30 , 8:40 am as well !
Shopping it has a no of shopping areas closeby , i.e. Point Cook, Altona Meadows or Williams Landing
Best part is you are normally not as bad stuck in traffic as most Point cook residents are as Seabrook is basically the first exit (first roundabout) , my wife drives to work (Essendon) and it takes her less than 30 mins the morning and around 40 mins on her way back
Overall we are happy and would recommend this suburb to first home buyers, younger families and working class professionals
Additionally its part of Hobsons bay council, what that means is that you pay cheaper rates each year as compared to our friends n Wyndham
Also Hobson bay council is really great council, the facilities it provides are really good !
Fo Swimming I would recommended Bayfit leisure centre or Laverton Swim centre (both are council run and open to public)
Hope this helps !
