"A beautiful quiet area that has shops nearby and friendly neighbours"
Quiet area, friendly neighbours, lived here for 19 years, no crime at all, and close to great areas, such as malvern east, bentleigh, cheltenham, clayton, moorabbin, Springvale, Oakleigh and oakleigh east. so plenty of work areas aswell as shops such as chadstone southland. Very near is Oakleigh where you can go out for a coffee with your friends at Vanilla

"A really under-rated suburb with lots of potential"
Oakleigh south has been a great place to live since we moved in 3 yrs back. The only weak point we initally thought was distance of a supermarket from our place. But now there is whole new shopping complex coming up scheduled to be finished by April 2012 which would include woolworths and other home and garden centres at the corner of warrigal and centre rd which would make all the necessities at door step. The 913 bus route is efficient and buses are not much crowded till oakleigh which makes it easier to get seat. Locals are excellent, all the services are handy and being close to school and parks makes it a great life for kids and family. I'm really happy with our decision to move to Oakleigh south and would recommend everybody.
Pros
- Supermarket at door step
- Efficient bus route
- Green and clean
- close to transport
- great eats

Live near caroll road and bourke road area every day in morning at 6am teh land fill trucks start thier chirping, and dont know what work they carry out but the house shakes as if a minor earthquake give it 2 to 3 on richter scale ;) Great area, unfortunately lived here for last 4 years but in the last year its almost worst than third world countries with the smell of the near by land fills wafting around, generally noticed at dusk, sometimes can smell from as far as Clayton station follow the EPA web site for more details.
Pros
- close to transport
- Shops
- great eats
Cons
- Land fill foul smells

I think youre confusing your own odor for a garbage smell. I have lived here my whole life and never smelt a thing!
