&lt;p&gt;Best for: Parents chasing fenced, shaded play&lt;br&gt;
Skip if: You need inner-city cafes on your doorstep&lt;br&gt;
Rent pressure: Moderate; family homes go fast&lt;br&gt;
Commute reality: ~60–75 min to CBD by train; 50–70 by car off-peak&lt;br&gt;
Food scene: Limited but improving around Princes Hwy + Arena&lt;br&gt;
Family fit: Excellent pocket parks; several all-abilities features&lt;br&gt;
What most guides miss: Parking is easy, but shade varies by park age&lt;br&gt;
Overall score: 4/5&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
