Reviews of Keysborough, VIC
"good for family, good education resources, lots of parks and outdoor life, safe"
Disclaimer: my comments refer to NEW Keysborough suburb which is the area located SOUTH of Dandenong Bypass on the map.
Good suburb for living as a family. Peaceful and quiet. Prices are going up but still affordable for most families if you are lucky. Around 5 mins driving distance to one of the best schools (Haileybury) in Australia, also the new Keysborrough Primary School has a good reputation too. Two shopping centres are nearby and if you want extra flavour you can always go to food markets in springvale which is about 15 mins drive. Being closed to noble park geographically, yes, however i see no problem. I havent had any issues of being broken into or stolen. Redsuburbs.com states its ranked 10/100, which is the first tier suburb in terms of safety.

"Boring; no amenities, public transport or a decent cafe."
The only thing you can see in Keysborough is houses. Estates crammed with cookie cutter overpriced homes.There are no restaurants, cafes or public transport. Not suitable for professionals or young. It is not a walkable suburb, you need a car to get to anywhere. It has some parks, but the noise from the freeways and 4 lanes highway drowns out any sort of peace.
"Lol"
Its a horrible place.. think about it your paying a mil for densely packed houses that are large but have barely any outdoor space. The roads are always busy and people always park on the road despite having driveways. The only close amenity highlight is Parkmore Shopping Centre.. THAT IS IT. Parkmore is horrible for what it is and is extremely outdated anyway. No cafes, street shops or decent restaurants. You need to travel 20 mins to get to a decent area for good food. Not KFC, Mcdonalds etc because thats all keysborough and its surrounding areas have. Extremely far away from the CBD which is horrible for its price point and its too near freeways so you can constantly here cars or drag racing. Only good thing about this whole suburb is the parks. It is full of beautiful parks and nature reserves more than i have seen in many suburbs. Public transport is laking.
"Great Suburb for all aspect"
Great school zone for you kids education. Great park and reserve with lake view. Shopping center are almost at every estate. Great to spend time outdoor with friend and family.

"Somerfield Dream"
Somerfield is a new development part of Keysborough, ranging from a small corner block home, to a large double story mansion. It is a highly recommended area with many young family and professionals living there. Very family friendly orientated neighbourhood and nicely built homes.

"Nice suburb, but Noble Park North is the "Hidden Gem" right next door!"
Keysborough has some nice houses, but is now unaffordable for the average buyer.
Noble Park North is a safe, family friendly suburb with M1 and M3 freeways, Waverley Gardens Shopping Centre and excellent schools. Ignore the "Noble Park" part of the title, this area is going to boom once people realise the potential. Excellent public transport. If you are looking at Keysborough as an option, the smart & savvy buyer should strongly consider looking next door!
''Ignore the "Noble Park" part of the title''... right... and ignore the thuggery and criminal activities of some of the lovely denizens of Noble Park? No thanks. It is bad enough that Dandenong and Noble Park are next to Keysborough, and the people in Keysborough have to deal with hooligans from Dandenong and Noble Park, who race through the small roundabouts on weekend nights... However, Noble Park has excellent ethnic food and exotic prostitutes. I visit Noble Park often, I just would not live there.
"The neighbourhood is beatiful and luxurious"
Keysborough is the opposite of neighbouring Dandenong. It's safe, it's pleasant and the atmosphere is close to perfection. I discovered that this place is home to many different nationalities (specifically from China, Vietnam, Turkey, Cambodia, Sri Lanka and Greek). Therefore, the variety of restaurants were present and made the suburb very colourful indeed. The problem is the shopping centres aren't as accessible or easy to visit because of the busy highway (Cheltenham Road) in the mornings where cars travel constantly.
"Awesome surroundings close to many spacious parks with everything you need close-by"
We moved to Keysborough South for almost a year. Loving the surrounding parks, GP, dentist, woolies close to where we live.
Parkmore shopping centre could be a little rowdy at times and the parking is a little messy, but overall acceptable to get a great variety of food and grocery.

"Somerfield... mostly good."
A great place to live... nice parks / playgrounds and neighbour's. My biggest complaint is the super slow Internet.. being in Somerfield means you're locked into the telstra "velocity" smart community Fibre optic internet, which boasts to be a super speed Internet, but fails miserably! At times I often struggle to view a YouTube video which is pathetic! The next annoyance in living here is the weekend drag racing which we can hear possibly coming from greens Rd or the dandenong bypass.. This is a weekly occurrence I think the police can't be bothered with.

"New developments for suburban living"
Growing up in Noble Park as a kid was always fun, moved yo Narre Warren as a late teen, to South Yarra in early 20s and then to Bentleigh. Soon will find my way back to where I started in Keysborough, next to Noble Park. I wanted to build but didn't want to move too far out from the CBD. Being only 25kms from the city, 5kms from the beach seemed like the perfect option. Local shopping is perfect and love being able to go to Springvale next door to get a cheap asian feast. This suburb will only get better. Due to the affordability in the new estates only the middle class will move in, meaning it will be safer and friendlier environment. Cant wait to move in.
