For anyone with a growing family – or thinking about starting one, living in close proximity to good schools, kindergarten, and childcare centres, are a significant factor in deciding where to buy and build.
At Westbrook that decision is about to be made even easier, with not just one, but two new schools – Warreen Primary School and Bemin Secondary College, about to open down the road in 2024 – adding to the already extensive line-up of great schools right on the estate’s doorstep!
One of Melbourne’s newer suburbs, Tarneit is already home to more than 50,000 people, and still growing fast. It is easy for residents to commute into work as it is a short 27-minute train ride into the CBD.
There are plenty of great reasons to live here, and last month, The Age revealed data indicating that Tarneit might be the state’s happiest suburb. At the very least, it might accommodate the state’s most mentally healthy residents and many locals are not surprised.
Recently we spoke to Westbrook resident, Meenu, about her thoughts on Westbrook.
When choosing a new block to build your dream family home, comfort in your location is everything.
Living near a train line and the thought of the additional noise the area may bring, may deter potential home buyers from looking, but for now established Westbrook resident Prabhjeet and his family, the required building regulations provide more benefits than drawbacks.
Getting involved is at the core of a community. No one understands this better than Graeme Clark, President of the Suns Football Netball Club. As a key member of the Westbrook community, he’s responsible for managing and recruiting all teams.
Coming off a successful year, in which two Football & Netball teams made finals, Graeme is looking forward to garnering more support for the club with updated facilities, and a new batch of recruits.
So, you’ve built your new home at the brand new stylish and modern Westbrook estate.
But creating a community is about more than just building ‘nice’ houses. Most of us crave safety and connection, and the best way to achieve this is by getting to know our neighbours.
Here are our top suggestions for connecting with your neighbours and fostering a little neighbourhood spirit along the way.
