Good things about Meadowbank:
- nice big park for exercise / bike / ball games etc.
- has ferry and train
- Meadowbank TAFE

Ideal area now would be east side of train line as the units between Bay Drive and Bowden Street are fairly new. With Aldi, Franklin, and a nice fruit & veg shop underneath. Plus close to train & ferry and park.

Bad things about Meadowbank (based on living there 10 years ago):
- it is a cheaper area in terms of house price
- a lot of units are rented out, and tenants don't look after it
- usually see abandoned furnitures / rubbish along Meadow Cresent and Bank Street
- used to be a popular spot for abandoned cars near the park (not too sure about now)

We lived there for a few years when we first got married. As we both worked and I drived everywhere - a lot of these don't affect me. We were lucky enough to have a unit at the back with living room kitchen and balcony facing the park - very sunny, nice outlook, and fairly private.

You have a 3 yr old little boy, maybe you should plan ahead and look at possible schools in 2 yrs time.

Another reason why Eastwood is expensive (other than all the shops), are the good schools - Eastwood Public, Denistone East Public, St Kevin etc.

Sorry, only local knowledge - I am not aware of school performance list for primary school (if anyone got one, can I have the link too please?)

For high school, this is the link for
top 100 in 2009 HSC results:
http://bettereducation.com.au/Results/Hsc.aspx
top 200 for 2008 HSC results:
http://bettereducation.com.au/Results/Hsc2008Ranking.aspx

As you can see, a lot of the top high schools are mainly private or selective.
