&lt;p&gt;Best for: Parents chasing fenced play, BBQs and easy parking&lt;br&gt;
Skip if: You prioritise nightlife or walk-to-everything living&lt;br&gt;
Rent pressure: Above state average&lt;br&gt;
Commute reality: Mernda line trains; buses along High &amp;amp; Cooper St&lt;br&gt;
Food scene: Solid kebab, Malaysian and cafe options; halal limited&lt;br&gt;
Family fit: Strong — schools, ovals and upgrade works continuing&lt;br&gt;
Overall score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What most guides miss: shade sails and toilets vary by park — check before you go.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
