Roxburgh Park, VIC 3064

Litter and dumped rubbish everywhere. This is due to the demographics of the area. People here are selfish and come from countries that do the same, so why would they treat the area they now reside any better ? Most original residents now gone. Don’t listen to anyone promoting it unless you love living around litter and rev heads

Been living in Roxburgh Park for 7 years, whilst the suburb has expanded greatly in regards to population, unfortunately it's infrastructure (in particular roads) has not kept up.

Previously it would have taken 5 minutes at worst to get from the Arena estate to Pascoe Vale road, but now it takes at least 10 minutes and is usually over 20 minutes during peak hour periods. This is due to only 3 roads leaving Roxburgh Park to Somerton road (Aitken Boulevard, Roxburgh Park drive and David Munroe drive). It has become so bad that people are regularly pulling the "Roxy Hook Turn" by taking the long way around the roundabout from Roxburgh Park Drive into Somerton Rd as it can easily take 5-10 minutes off your drive by not waiting in the correct lane.

Other areas haven't kept up with expansion, the station is now generally full by around 7:20am (in particular on Tuesdays and Thursday) so if you start at 9 in the city it's best to drive to Coolaroo station to get a park, which means waiting in traffic again.

Roxburgh park shopping centre and the station is generally pretty dirty as well, with garbage flying everywhere (I recommend going to Craigieburn Central or Greenvale for your weekly shops).

For a couple in your late 20's/30's there isn't really much to do, the gyms are all chain gyms in the area and restaurants/ cafes are fairly limited (with the exception of Forget Me Not in Greenvale and 1B pizza or alternatively going up to Craigieburn Central and getting VHM bros (genuinely great Vietnamese food).

It's not all bad, there are some great sporting clubs for young families with Hume Tennis club being one of the top tennis centres in the country.

Safety wise it's not as bad as people say, have had one incident in Roxy Plaza where a guy spat on me and attempted to assault me (after he nearly ran me down with his car and I raised my hand going what the hell), but after some poor drivers in the area speeding haven't had any problems (in particular near the Arena complex). Hooning in general has been addressed recently though, and there are less unlicensed dirt bikes taking the roads than there used to be (this might a side effect from the congestion though).

Due to house prices, if you can work majority of the time from home and have a young family you can get some great value, but honestly I wouldn't recommend the suburb.

Due to the congestion issues, we have sold our house and are moving.

Owned a house and lived in Roxy for 10 years, if you want to live in a wild west suburb that's fine, otherwise runaway as fast as you can

Not a nice suburb to live or visit.

3 month back we move to this suburb from Pascoe vale, we made the choice to buy due to affordable housing… I remember we where quite worried before moving as we didn’t heard good stories but once we moved, we loved it!
Pros:
- Parks feel safe to go out with kids
- kids like the primary school
- All shops are nearby
- Train station is walking distance
- Our neighbours are good as well.

Cons:
- In future kids will go to second school, however they seems not great.

I m surprised that I like this area n can call it home. Have been living here from last 2.5 years. All the daily necessities are close by. Great parks n very family friendly suburb.closw to city n the houses are not ridiculously priced.

You might hear a different story but go around n check the suburbs that are located with in 18-20 km away from city n you don't find much difference to the schools, facilities etc- except for the house price.

Been living here for 10 years, neighbours are scumbags non stop parties no manners no respect for other people drug use etc.this area is covered by hume council they are a disgrace the parks are full of dumped rubbish and unkept grass the streets are narrow and the council sends you a fine if you park half off the road so cars can get through.police are non existent in this area for any crimes other than if they can do a bit of revenue raising.motorbikes ripping through the parks, burnouts at night, people screaming,very uneasy feeling to live here worst mistake of my life buying a house here.be warned stay away.
