KazzE Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Ha ha ha Anna, not surprised, it took us a while to decide, good to think ahead . . . I know where you are thinking in Altona, we were considering there too until the power stations put me off, the same reason we stopped looking at Williamstown, We could not afford where We wanted to buy! Or the blocks were too small. I really like Williamstown, I shop there regularly and we eat there a lot too. good luck with the house hunting :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna333 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hey Kazze how do you like where you are in Werribee? I guess you've been there a few months now. I remember you were trying to go somewhere the a community feel, much like ourselves. Also, you mentioned Little River. I've just googled it and it looks quite isolated, relatively speaking. What was the attraction / any drawbacks? Boganbear - if our pockets stretched to Williamstown budget then I may entertain the thought of mentioning it. Alas, I've not even searched property there for that reason, although with just a drive by I do wonder if you can get any land with your house in that area anyway?

Anna333 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hey I wanted to do another update to let you know that we have paid up our deposit and are DEFINITELY moving to Altona Meadows later this year! We're obviously really pleased with our decision or we wouldn't have gone ahead with it. We checked out a few renovation projects in Altona as the cost of these places was obviously lower, but it became evident that they would still go for a reasonable price and most likely be bulldozed and 3 units thrown up in their place. What surprised me was that the location of these properties was worse than were our new place is going to be. They were on grid reference roads several hundred meters from the beach. We're going to be in a quiet court with the wetlands reserve on our doorstep and play park in spitting distance. We've had to compromise - the train station is a 5 min drive away, but alas you usually have to make compromises. My hubby, who's Aussie, fell in love with the house immediately. I know it's the perfect setup for us but didn't get that instant 'love', I think because it's SUCH an Aussie style house. We feel like we got a good price - I doubt we would have bought it we didn't. It has the large garden we were after and one of few houses with really practical use and layout of all the indoor space. Can't wait for the move. Did I mention the icing on the cake is we don't have to renovate it?!! LUXURY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be bringing a 2 year old a newborn with me so hoping to scope out mums groups etc for when I arrive. I know how long it's taken to get to know people from my initial move from UK to Aus but come to realise you need to be proactive and it soon comes together. It makes such a difference making friends when you move and I've realised the sooner you do it the better, so hoping to be more proactive as soon as we do arrive 'on the other side'. I'll defo be up for meeting anyone in the area when we make the move! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
