So, what is it about Lara that makes it the perfect spot to create your dream home?
1. The abundance of existing lifestyle amenity in Geelong and Lara
One of the things you and your family will love about Lara is the lifestyle it offers, with amenity right at your fingertips.
Walk down to Lara Village, where you can enjoy a leisurely coffee at Millar’s Café or Little Teapot Café & Play. A short drive or train trip takes you into Geelong, where you can browse the boutique shopping of Pakington Street, shop the big brands at Westfield, and enjoy a delicious dining experience at Wah Wah Gee or one of the many other restaurants and bars along the Geelong waterfront.
Along with shopping and dining, you’ll also have access to a range of sporting amenities, allowing you and your family to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.
Austin Park has playground equipment including a skate park; Lara Reserve has facilities for cricket, tennis and baseball.
Take the kids to the heated pool, explore the wetlands at Lara Lake Reserve, or relax with a picnic and see the wonderful array of wildlife at Serendip Sanctuary.

Living in Lara is more convenient than ever for families, being close by to a host of top childcare facilities as well as primary and secondary schools, including Lara Primary School, Lara Lake Primary School, St Anthony’s Primary School and Lara Secondary College.
