It is very centrally located for my lifestyle. I can go to city, Chadstone, Glen Waverley even St Kilda within 20-30mins. I could also just spend a day locally at MC2, Westfield, Ruffey Lake park or Kevin Heinze Garden Centre.

Whenever I drive past Doncaster I just watch in awe how beautiful the place is especially as you pass the Doncaster Westfield centre. When I'm older I have my eyes set on this area to raise kids in.

Love having a beer at the "caster". Eastern Freeway can be very congested at times. But apart from that I think it is Melbourne's Up and coming area.
