Springvale South, VIC 3172

I've lived in Springvale South for almost 15 years and I would say there are a range of supermarkets and shopping centres within close driving distance so everything is easy to get to. Also the beach isn't too far of a drive either. I didn't mind living far from the city because there are many suburbs around that have their own night life therefore I didn't need to travel to the city too often.

Personally, my only downside is that I did not feel safe, I felt like at times I was being watched or occasionally would see something dodgy happening and I've had my fair share of unsafe moments so therefore I make sure to lock everything or have someone on the phone if I need to walk to my car outside and it's dark.

Springvale south is an amazing suburb filled with small community outlets. A lot of people have lived here for the pass 20+ years, it is filled with good food and plenty of parks and reserve. I lived here all my life, a lot of redevelopment of old homes shows how much this suburb is safely guarded. A low turn over of properties keeps this suburb with generations of family to come.

I was going to say the Springvale south suburb , but you beat me to it. Depends on your idea of beauty. The location are my idea of center of every thing, but maybe not anyone else's. I like it, and I like Springvale south people as well.

I have moved back to Springvale South after living abroad for almost 10 years and I must admit, the place is fantastic.

Love Springvale but I prefer Springvale South. More quiet and less crazy busy.

I have a young family and its an ideal place to live. Close to shops, childcare centres and primary schools. People are friendly (esecially if your Asian) and they keep to themselves most of the time.

5 mins drive and you can drop your kids off at the best school in Australia (Haileybury College).

I rarely see any crimes nor do I see anything that might put me off. Yeah they have the occasional street beggers at the shops but thats the only bad thing i could think about it. You see more street beggers at Malvern and in they city.

Only 10 mins to the beach and 15 mins to Chadstone Shopping Centre. 10 mins from The Glen.

Defintely great potential in this area. They are even building a Hyatt Hotel in Springvale in a few years time.

Love the suburb. Wouldn't live anywhere else.


Straight out of Springvale.
