Have been living here for 18 months, and to be honest was a bit unsure of what to expect. I have had no problems - but the opposite, and have seen a drastic improvement in the area in this time, with development and renewal of property. Very quiet area and amenable neighbours. The council have pledged to renew the local parks and add more trees. Very close to Northland, walking distance to Rosanna/Heidelberg stations, close to Ivanhoe and Rosanna shopping precincts. Also close to Rosanna parklands for a lovely stroll or run. Some houses continue to lower the look and feel of the neighbourhood, as they do not maintain their houses so well. School options are limited and with increasing population it will be interesting how the state government will cater for students. That being said, many public and private school options in next door suburbs. However, am confident this will change in time. Though Heidelberg Heights and Heidelberg West have typically had a poor reputation, I have to say none of my experience has reflected people's views, and rather, people do not actually know what they're talking about! Big shout out to the local cafes (Crate, The Chairman Caf) creating a lovely feel for the community. Onward and upward!
