Would you live there? Do you? I do not know anything about it, so tell me good and bad :)
Personally I wouldn't want to live there.
Out western suburbs I would pick:
Essendon
Seddon
Yarraville
Williamstown
Newport
Point cook
Mannor lakes
Whyndam vale
to name a few
Maidstone once was a very working-class area but in the last few years has had big changes because it was an affordable place to buy a home and is still very close to the city. I'm in Footscray which I love but would happily live in Maidstone (although I'd probably prefer Yarraville or Seddon) - it's close to services, schools, transport, 15 minute drive to the city. It's an area with lots of new housing, which attracts families to the area. There may not be the cafe and restaurant culture of Yarraville/Williamstown/Seddon but then it's nowhere near as expensive as those spots (looking at $400 p/w to rent a 2bdr orange brick flat in Yarraville!!!)...it really depends what you're after?
I dont think I would. West Footscray maybe, its better for public transport thatn maidstone. I agree with Feebs list, throw in Spotswood for good measure
altona might be worth a look too
