21/30 Leonard Crescent, Ascot Vale, VIC, 3032, Australia

Forget dark, poky apartments that feel like an afterthought. This one sits in a low-rise complex in a quiet neighbourhood – secure, peaceful and made to feel like home.

Bask in the rare north-facing sunshine on your private balcony – the perfect spot for your morning coffee, laptop session or sunset drink. Inside, you'll find a genuinely generous floorplan, with a garaged car space (Not a Car Stacker) and storage cage so you're not tripping over your own belongings.

Step outside and you're in a recreational playground. Think endless parklands and sports grounds, off the leash dog parks, golf course and driving range, tennis and netball courts, riverside walking and running tracks that link all the way to Melbourne's CBD, multiple leisure centres, Edgewater Marina, Maribyrnong River, rowing clubs and even Flemington Racecourse – all within an easy walking distance. And even a cafe at the end of the street, about 250 metres away. Getting around on public transport is simple: it's a short stroll to tram 57 and bus routes, or wander a little further to Ascot Vale Train Station.
