The peaceful heart of Hampton: Around the tree-lined location of Noetic Place
Following on from Urban.com.au's Top 5 Most Viewed Architects and Suburbs over the last two days, today we take a look at the Top 5 Most Viewed Local Government Area's (LGA).
Not surprisingly, looking at it in a Victorian context, the City of Melbourne takes out top spot, reflecting its status as one of the most desirable municipalities to reside within.
The inner-city LGA's are proving the most popular with their access to employment, education, retail and dining, and well served by public transport.
