Seabrook, VIC 3028

Great place to be with everything close at bargain property prices. Great neighbourhood with lots of parks, quick access to freely and within walking distance to both Aircraft and Williams Landing train stations and a 28 minute train ride to city.

Just recently moved here and the experience has been great. All the buttons have clicked for me:
- Green, clean, and safe
- Close to shopping centres
- Walking distance to one of the best primary schools
- Enjoy the facilities from Point Cook because we are very close
- Friendly and nice neighbour
- Most homes are owner occupied and rarely move so you can build good relationship that last for years
- Traffick is not as bad as we are closer to the freeway and stations than Point Cook.

We moved to Seabrook after spending almost a year looking around in 2018
Its is located relatively close to Melbourne CBD (around 20 kms) and train takes about 26 mins (peak time office hours)
Our experience living here has been really positive , Seabrook has a beautiful skeleton creek for your walks, dog & bike rides
There is also Seabrook Cricket club, foot ground as well (Bruce Comben Reserve), additionally there are public Tennis courts as well !
For golf lovers there are 3 golf courses around Seabrook, one in Aircraft , one is Kooringal Golf Club and lastly Sanctuary Lakes , heaven for golfers !
Seabrook Primary is really a great school with a rating over 98 (last time we checked)
Beach is not far, Altona beach is around 5 kms (under 10 mins) , Williamstown is a bit around 20 mins (is an option for the weekends !)
There is a good presence of working class families in this area, which is really positive overall, have always come across really friendly people, especially the older residents in Seabrook , always up for a chat !
Train Station is really convenient as well, Aircraft or Laverton, both are walkable (Aircraft is around 1 km, and Laverton 1.5km) , you can also cycle , there is a cycle storage at Laverton station , Even parking spaces at Laverton are ample , I have found parking at 8:30 , 8:40 am as well !
Shopping it has a no of shopping areas closeby , i.e. Point Cook, Altona Meadows or Williams Landing
Best part is you are normally not as bad stuck in traffic as most Point cook residents are as Seabrook is basically the first exit (first roundabout) , my wife drives to work (Essendon) and it takes her less than 30 mins the morning and around 40 mins on her way back
Overall we are happy and would recommend this suburb to first home buyers, younger families and working class professionals
Additionally its part of Hobsons bay council, what that means is that you pay cheaper rates each year as compared to our friends n Wyndham
Also Hobson bay council is really great council, the facilities it provides are really good !
Fo Swimming I would recommended Bayfit leisure centre or Laverton Swim centre (both are council run and open to public)
Hope this helps !

Living in Seabrook for close to a year. Was a bit worried for the change from South east to the west. It has been a great change, it's a fantastic location, shops around, safe, really green, lots of walking tracks. Not far from CBD, I consider to be one of the west suburbs that will become a prime location.

We have lived in Seabrook for about 4 months now and love it! There is easy access to Altona Meadows, Sanctuary Lakes and Point Cook Shopping Centres and also has a small area of shops on Point Cook Rd with various takeaway options. Bordered by Skeleton Creek there are lots of recreational park areas with walking/bike trails. Within Seabrook PS zone it's a great location for families. The real benefit for Seabrook is you are close to the Princes Fwy so you avoid the traffic on Point Cook Rd. From Seabrook it's only about 20-25mins to the city but also close to Aircraft train station for public transport access.

Seabrook is a tiny commuter suburb located
in between Altona Meadows, Laverton, Point Cook and Williams Landing. It is governed by Hobsons Bay Council which means considerably cheaper rates than Point Cook (Wyndham City Council).

However, being so close to Point Cook means you have easy access to its facilities (three shopping centers).

Seabrook has easy access to the freeway and a well regarded primary school and kindergarten which makes Seabrook ideal for a young family.

The neighbours keep to themselves and tend to pride in maintaining their garden.

I have been familiar with Seabrook for almost a year and living here for the past few months. My family and I chose this neighborhood primarily because it had three great benefits:
1) A fantastic public primary school and as a bonus, offers International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme
2) Great environment for young kids; safe, friendly and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors (parks, bike trails, tennis courts, etc)
3) Good location if you work in the west or the CBD - 3 major shopping centres within 5 minutes and you don't get stuck in the Point Cook traffic in the morning to reach the freeway, especially if you live on the school side of Point Cook Road.
No, this is not the suburb for you if you want cafes at your doorstep or you would like to live close to great night life. Also, you are limited to a handful of options if you frequently like to request dinner delivered to your home.
For those catching the train to the city, parking can be a bit of a problem but it is likely that with the new bus routes and more frequent trains from next year, this situation will improve. Already, with the new VLine route via Tarneit, there is less crowding in the Metro line, so we are optimistic. On an average day by car, you can expect to leave home around 8:30am, drop the kid(s) at school and reach the CBD by around 9:15. On school holidays and weekends, the drive between CBD and Seabrook takes around 25 minutes.
One thing I am not satisfied about is the lack of broadband Internet choice. In my area, it was either Telstra or Foxtel. Will need to wait longer for the NBN to roll out and hopefully make things better.
In short, It's the "just right" suburb for families who are looking for a quiet place to raise young kids and work in the west or in the CBD.

I have been living in this lovely town for quite a few years. I enjoy many things here which is hardly found in other suburbs
1. a top primary school with excellent teaching achievement and kids are learning all the skills in a happy and cooperative environment.
2. there are green area everywhere, many traces around a nice river , attracting dozes of joggers, dog-walkers and bike -riders.
3. there is a handy local town center where quite a few nice restaurants available.
4. Regarding the traffic, there is a handy train station within walking distance. Every day I drive to city for work, I have no trouble unless there is a smash somewhere in the way to westgate bridge. In most time , it takes me less than half an hour to pass bridge.(my start time is between 6:50 am and 7:15 am).
5. very nice neighbourhood feeling due to most homes are owner-occupied due to they don't want leave this loved suburb.
6. for shopping , within 2-3 km range , there are at lease three nice shopping centers.
7. less than 5 minute to reach Altona beach to enjoy the cool in summer or just walking along the beach.

There are much more nice ones I didn't mention and I am sure you will enjoy living here and raising your kids as I do!

Having built in the area approx 8 years ago, we loved the look of the area and we were convinced that it would be a great place to raise a family and still be able to commute to our Melbourne City for work. And initially it was, however over the past 3-4 years the build up of homes and complete disregard for infrastructure has meant that Seabrook and Point Cook area have become unlivable if you work in the city.

It would take me at least 45-minutes just to get out of the suburb - every day!!! . . . completely ridiculous! The train option is also useless as the platform is packed by 7:30am and you'll be lucky to get on a train before 8:20am.

Now that we have sold up and moved on, we are so much more relaxed and happier.

My advice - don't buy in if you work outside this small pocket.

I don't understand why but people tends to overlook this lovely cozy small suburb which is situated on top of top right corner of Point Cook. It's the closest suburb to the Laverton Freeway access with friendly neighbourhoods and is only 3 mins drive from the quick developing Williams Landing.

It's basically close to everything - within 5 mins drive to medical centres, shopping malls, parks, reserves, Aircraft/Laverton train station, Altona beach, and Freeway on ramp.

Seabrook is part of Hobson Bay Council not Wyndham so we enjoyed cheaper land rates.

What's best that you don't get in other surrounding suburbs is the well known Seabrook Primary School (ranked top in Victoria!) who offer International Baccalaureate (I.B) since 2011 (founded in 1968, a global education programme focusing on developing the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills needed to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world), see below links, if you are planning to raise or already have a primary school kid, think no more!

What's better for us is that we are living in the Homestead Run Estate which is commonly known for better quality and unique houses, it's the best area within Seabrook, only 2 minutes walk from:
1) 2 reserves or parks with BBQ facilities and playgrounds
2) Community centre
3) Tennis court.
4) Truganina Avenue and Fleming Avenue is connected to the streets of Sanctuary Lakes, so no need to pay expensive body corp fees to enjoy the same scenic and environment.

My family live in Homestead run estate in Seabrook for half a year now, since the development of Point cook and Santaury Lake, Seabrook reap the reward for so close to all these facilities, all within walking distance or short drive to shopping centre, medical centre, childcare centre, parks, lakes, playground and community centre etc.. Seabrook is also close to main access to Princess Highway so congestion is not so bad and furthermore Williams landing Aircraft, Laverton train stations also nearby. I particularly love the neighborhood here is so friendly and easy to get along with, my neighbour kids came out and play with my 2 year old daughter on the first day we moved in, also other neighbour help us to push our rubbish bin back to our front yard every monday. Regarding the internet it is on regional zone which means you are paying a bit more for internet but so far the internet speed is fantastic; we are getting ADSL2+ on average speed of 6-8 Mbps. So in short I love this place and absolutely enjoy it.

Seabrook is a nice and small place right between hustling & bustling point cook town center and Melbourne CBD. We moved to this place about 6 months ago and have not regretted the decision. With point cook town center at stones throw distance, a reputed school and different transport options - there isn't much that you would miss at this place.
Also people living around are nice and friendly.

My family has lived in Seabrook for the last 3 years, and we love it here.

+: 5-10 mins easy-pace walk to Seabrook shops, Dunnings Road Medical Center, Sanctuary Lakes Shopping Center, parks, maternal child health centre, 2 tennis courts (each with 2 courts), playgrounds and Seabrook Primary School. The latter is a major drawcard since the zoning of the best primary school in the area excludes Pt Cook & Sanctuary Lakes.

+: <5 mins drive to Pt Cook shopping Center, Laverton Zone 1 Station, Central Square Shopping Center. Honestly, it beats the much vaunted Eastern suburbs by a country mile. Folks are friendly, lots of young families, and there's been a lot of gentrification in the neighbourhood. Only about 20 mins drive to the CBD off-peak. On-peak, it's about 45 mins.

-: It is Zone 2 to take the bus to the station and you can't get ADSL2+, but you can get very reliable ADSL1 and 3G wireless

This is a safe, and family friendly area which we would like to call home for a long long time to come. You can see folks around here are house-proud by the immaculate gardens, and the fact that most are owner-occupiers.

A wide variety of people and homes to suit anyone from all walks in life. Established surroundings, walking tracks, leafy gardens and ease of access to public transport make Seabrook a wonderful place to live.
Having worked in the area and having many friends live here I have the understanding that the market there is on the up and up.
I would definetly say it's a great place to live in and invest in. Highly recommended!!!
