Vibe: spaghetti on Sunday

Location: River, Parks, 5-10km from city centre, Near VU

Brick houses with white ballustrading. McMansions. Familes. During the 1970’s, Avondale Heights was the suburb aspirational working class people, mostly of southern European descent, moved to, to bring up their young families. The 80s and 90s saw the rise of the McMansion, the arrival of the lower middle classes, and some doof doof music. In the last five years, Avondale Heights has witnessed the emergence of designer family homes. This suburb is orderly, family friendly, safe, clean and tidy. It has large nature strips, a small local shopping centre and great access to the picturesque Maribrynong River. While public transport is available, you wouldn't want to live here without a car.
