Sustain Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Wife went exploring and wants to consider getting a house by the sea in a place called Black Rock? Whats it like? Any particular roads or areas that offer great views. Any yacht clubs nearby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loulou1205 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Black rock is a lovely place. I live a few suburbs away in Parkdale. I'm not sure of streets but I think as long as you are walking distance from the beach it's pretty much a lovely place. Obviously beach road is the best place for views. It has a lovely group of boutique shops and coffee shops and is close to Southland (Westfield shopping centre). Fairly close to st Kilda and Brighton. Lots of amazing beach walks and close to half moon bay (amazing fish and chips). I love Parkdale, where I live, because of the village / beach lifestyle but close to the city. I do yoga in black rock. It's a pleasure to drive along the beach to class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzy--bee Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I also live in Parkdale! I love Black Rock - would love to live there, although I love Parkdale too. Black Rock is phenomenally expensive, justifiably so as it's a very wealthy area. Think "ladies who lunch" with little dogs on their laps in their Mercedes! Parkdale is a bit more down to earth, but equally liveable and a bit less pretentious! BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loulou1205 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Parkdale rocks! Best place I've lived so far. If you haven't tried ficelles yet I highly recommend it! Best meal I've had in ages. I think if I had lots of money I might move to black rock but I'm perfectly happy here in Parkdale. People always smile and say hello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
