As a 10 year resident of Docklands with wife and 2 kids, the only thing which is true in this video is the wind. it does get a bit windy at times.
There's a large family community here. so much so there is a primary school with over 700 kids. Then there is a large amount of kids that go to Hailybury on King street.
On my floor there's 3 families. We have Christmas parties organised by the building each year.
1/3 of our building are families. 1/3 young professionals and 1/3 retiree's.
At least 4 out 6 points are the same anywhere else in Australia. Strata fee, check. No hanging laundry in balcony, check.
I bought a apartment in Docklands absolutely love it.
wow i considered this as my dream place for home, but i really appreciate this video. Came at the right time cheers!
The noise comes from constant trams. I used to live in the city and trams often woke me up at 5am
A bleak windswept dystopian soulless wasteland. Bugger all green spaces. A ghost town shopping precinct. A broken Ferris wheel. A bunch of energy inefficient towers radiating their heat into space. I built half of these towers and live next door in port Melbourne. Not a chance that I’d live there…
Docklands resodent here- it can get a bit windy at times but most of the negative points outlined in this video really arent appacable in reality. There are lots of oarks, its quiet and serene especially at night, heaps of families with children also.
Make a video about dandenong please!
I lived in docklands for 1.5 years. I loved it !
That’s great! I’m glad Docklands works for you. Could you share what you love most about Docklands?
@@MelbWestExplorer office was less than a km. All the Melbourne restaurants, attractions are within few mins. I did not have a car back then and I did not miss it. It is so lively (because you are in the CBD). Now I live in mount Waverley in a much bigger and nicer place, got my own car and everything… but it’s so BORING ! And daily office travel still takes about 45 mins one way.
To each his own but this is video is too negative. I enjoy Melbourne CBD and find it so interesting. Never a dull moment. Everything is just round the corner. Work can just be within walking distance. Don't even need a car. And there is vertical community sharing. Would not exchange for anything else.
Do frankston 😂
😂
Why would you produce something like this?
Food for thought
Docklands, the lesson on how to not to rejuvenate a industrial area.
This is a the perfect example of architects gone mad,politicians skullduggery and totally ignoring height restrictions , public institutions , public space free of retail,zero greenery,100 year old infrastructure expected to be in 100% working condition for modern demands.
Melbournes biggest opportunity in 100 years and it’s just a place full of miserable glass canyons of souvenir shops and restaurants that wannabe discos and make everyone’s life a misery.
My first time staying at Docklands as a Perth resident feels right at home. It captures the environment of our CBD quite well. Beautiful broadwalk with zero point of interests, offices and apartments filled to the brim which results in area being dead after 5 pm, and noise pollution.
a lot of shops and restaurants closed, Gold Leaf, Costco, and car park really expensive.
Oh no, has Gold Leaf closed too?
Dockalnds?
Rather live in the suburbs I’ll be honest
The things you mention are irrelevant or are positives. 1. Getting no return on your investment doesn't make it a bad place to live. You don't want to live where you have low body corp fees, nothing will be maintained properly. You don't want people hanging laundry on the balcony, it looks awful. Being windy near the waterside? maybe other waterside locations are less windy but really, it's not that bad. It is a lot quieter than Melbourne. Not everybody wants children. Less children is a positive.
I didn't read any negative comments here from people who live in Docklands. Docklands is alright.
such a missed / ruined opportunity
Docklands = wind tunnel !!!!!!
Docklands is crap. I don't know anyone that lives there or ever visits as it's just crap. There's nothing to do there
1000% concour.
The most uninviting place in the whole of the city and suburbs.
@@soulsphere9242 outer suburbs in a economic choice ,a lifestyle choice, at least there’s services and facilities.
Docklands was just a cash grab.
Just bought apartment
To each his own. I am happy here for the last 2 years in my own apartment
A world class stadium, restaurants cafes, parks, gorgeous waterfront ambience, dfo and within walking distance to South melb, port melb, the CBD......but ok.......lolz
The area has no appeal. No clubs, bars, restaurants, wind tunnel, no way to get there with your car if you are coming from the suburbs. Costco leaving soon and restaurants are closing but hey as long as people get peace and quiet whilst living in the CBD. The only time the place doesn't seem so desolate is when the footy is on at marvel.
We want a video of ringwood please
Thank you for your feedback! I apologize, but I have limited experience with Ringwood. However, based on information from my friends who live there, the only drawback they mention is the absence of a notable public school in the area.
@MelbWestExplorer thank you so much for your reply, I have to say you are doing an amazing job with the videos. Keep going.
Thank you very much for your kind words.
Ringwood has a shopping centre that is large
@@emusaurus yes you are right, I live 15 minutes walking distance from there. I like that shopping centre.
