Is Wyndham Vale a nice place to live?

Wyndham Vale is an outer-west Melbourne suburb in the City of Wyndham with a modern, suburban character. Much of it is recent housing estates of brick single-family homes and some townhouses, linked by tree-lined streets, pocket parks and walking and cycling trails that follow the nearby Werribee River.
