It's very quiet comparing to other streets, surrounded by trees and parks. Walking distance to public superb schools, tram to the city just around the corner, but a bit farther away from the train station - it takes me approx 15 mins to walk there.

It's quite busy in the mornings - lots of people going to the city. I live 15 mins walk to the train station, so sometimes when it's not raining I bike to the city - I was skeptical before I tried it - but it's safe and quicker that by train :-)
Shopping is great - there is everything you'll ever need and some great cafes along High St and Plenty Rd.
I have a kid I'm going to send to Bell Primary School. I liked Preston West Primary as well but Bell seems to have upgraded facilities is closer to my home. Good schools was once of the criteria when I was choosing a suburb to buy in - I'm very satisfied with those two.

When buying in Epping I was looking for the place close to the train station (I commute every day to the city) but at the same time with as little traffic as possible, surrounded by trees or parks and close to schools. I believe I found it - it's Touhey Ave, but I can say the same about all surrounding streets: Peppercorn Pde, Letchworth Pl, Greenbrook Drive.
I walk to the train station every day, drop off my kid at the childcare on my way to the train and my travel from home to the office in the city takes 50-55 mins. Train itself takes around 40 mins to the city.
The street is close to the High street - around 10 mins walk. Epping Plaza - 5 mins drive or 18 mins walk. There is bus to Epping Plaza on the Greenbrook drive - every 10 mins I think but I never used it.

Seems like this suburb has been left out by many investors (because of developments of Wollert, Doreen and Mernda), might be the reason the price is still low. The suburb is safe and peaceful, lots of parks, creeks and trees around. Streets close to the train station - are ideal for the commuters, it takes me up to 40 mins to get to the city, train services are mostly reliable, there are also buses to the South Morang, Epping Plaza - big shopping centre and other lines I never used. I live near Greenbrook drive and can see buses very often, I think every 10 mins.
Shopping options are diverse: Epping Plaza with Coles, Safeway, Aldi, Target, BigW, Dan Murphy's and many other shops is a great option. It's just 10 mins away from where I live - so often I don't even have to drive there. Lots of shops and cafes along High Street including McDonalds, Officeworks and Bunnings.
The nightlife - well, there is no nightlife. But I'm ok with that. All in all I'm happy to live there with my family.
