"Full of suprises"
Moved here under a year ago and things don't get much better when you buy a house under $550K. Granted the nighlife is not so great but with regular trains (every 20min) to the city it great. The thing I love most is being able to walk along the beach and see the city, heaps of bike paths, running tracks, wet land areas and two massive off leash dogs parks! Going out for dinner is cheap and the locals are friendly, plus it has it own little markets every Tuesday. Its like a country town but big enough that you don't see the same people all the time. I love it here.

Sarh, I have lived here for around 3-4 years and reciently started working in the area as well and personally I love it. Its got everything as you have mentioned plus alot more. In that time I've become a member of the Altona Yacht Club and Altona Dog School and have just started becoming a trainer at the dog school as well. You could nt want anything more out of this seaside suburb, its a great place.
Miremax a picture says a thousand words and a think your picture says it all.
yes...Altona is all ....oooohhh aahhhh....when you first land in it.....but after awhile and certainly within a few years you feel that something isn't quite right. Constant stench, polluted air, knife wielding non locals that maim and kill just outside your local supermarket, no more evening walks along the coastal stretches, everpresent toxic gassy emmissions and polluted beach waterconvolluted by impossible westie mentality crowds on hot summer days is not exactly paradise anymore....is it?
Altona has long its appeal....and real estate here is poised to sell and run....as Mobil and Qenos are not budging and are not fined enough for the polluting air and water....and land.
