&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Best for: Families wanting walkable access to local primaries plus a straightforward public secondary option.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Skip if: You’re chasing selective or elite private schooling.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Rent pressure: Lower than inner-east; easier to upsize on a budget.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Commute reality: Fast links to South Gippsland Hwy; Hallam/Lynbrook stations nearby.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Food scene: Everyday takeaways; bigger variety at Fountain Gate and Cranbourne.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Family fit: Active P&amp;amp;F groups, junior sport clubs, and a solid local library.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Overall score: 7/10&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What most guides miss: Enrolment priority is set by catchment, not postcode.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
