New Train Station is on the way that will renew the look of Clayton. Level crossing will be removed so no more traffic nightmares. So much food & Restaurant choices now, Italian, Greek, Korean, Chinese, Malaysian, Hongkong, .Indian, Japanese, Thai, Indonesian, all kinds of Aussie fast food choices, you name it!!! Two large Coles and plenty of parking + one extra huge Asian supermarket.

You have got hospital, uni, all sorts of clinics, physios, big 4 branches, post office, two pharmacies, and even animal hospital in one spot!! All tips in clayton south area will be closed by 2016. Very multicultural. Have a few good churches. Surrounded by Chadstone Shopping Center, Ikea Home Center, Southland Shopping center and Moorabbin DFO
easy to get on North Rd, Princess Hwy, M1 freeway. Something for young families: Oakleigh South Primary school (very close to Clayton center) an unzoned primary school has always been ranked within top 20 primary schools in Victoria.

Is it safe? Having been living in the suburbs for almost 15 years, I haven't experienced any theft or harsh moments. The area is heavily populated by migrants and students. They are mostly quiet and hard working people. They never cause any trouble and a lot of them are very educated and very polite. In fact, you will find this train line will have the most ppl giving seat to eldly. You barely see any young junkies wandering around like what you might see in Ringwood station or some western suburbs. To me, it is a perfectly safe place to live. I have heard quite a lot of people complaining about theft problem in the area. I would say that was purely due to the places they lived were all share accommodation. Those thieves would always target students as they have lower security consciousness and more stuff to steal.
