"Booming suburb - like a hill station"
Beautiful suburb with lots of parks, big shopping centre with all brands and everything close by. Now it’s called Harkness and really growing with lots of new development. Gives you a feel of hill station - beautiful view, nice and clean streets, plus an advantage of warm friendly neighbours. Best thing is majority of houses are owner occupied. Thumbs up for Harkness / Melton west 👍

"Excellent suburb to live for everyone!"
This is one of the best Suburbs I’ve lived so far. Recently started construction of my own house. The growth rate in terms of population and price for this suburb is amazing. It has really Great shopping centres, schools, community centre, parks and almost all amenities for daily use. Excellent for families with growing needs. Also now it’s called Harkness as a new suburb and it’s really growing with lots of new development. Thumbs up for Harkness / Melton west 👍

"A Beautiful town just out of town!"
Melton West is such s beautiful suburb to live in, I've only just moved here and I love it so so much! Beautiful houses, clean streets, warm friendly neighbors! 1 minute walk to the Grand Woodgrove shopping complex. Melton West has a friendly community feel about it which is great for anyone. Melton in general is honestly Melbournes best kept secret! It's also a fantastic investment opportunity! so much is happening across all of melton and you see and feel it everywhere you go! Over 500 Milion invested in rail infrastructure to duplicate the line to deer park west which will pave the way for electrification and connect melton to Melbourne via Metro trains! The Melton Hospital plan is gaining traction! West Pines shopping and business precinct is already underconstuction! Now to compliment all of this you have really affordable property prices!! dont listen to what people say about Melton, come down and spend a day here for yourself and you will see straight away what a beautiful place Melton really is!!
P.s Melton is not that far away! Were only 40km or a 40min drive from Melbourne CBD. Compare that to Cranbourne which is 50km and over 1 hour 20 min away! or Frankston which is 60km or 1 hour 30min away.

"Melton West, a peaceful place."
Melton West is a great place to live and very affordable. With outdoor spaces and a short drive to the shops Melton West can only improve with time.
The only downside for Melton West is the train station is further away which leaves Melton South and Brookfield in a better position in that regard.

"Calm, quiet, safe and secure with all amenities nearby"
I love Melton west! You can get all amenities nearby. Schools, childcare, parks are just a walk from our place. You can feel fresh air in this suburb. And beautiful few creeks, lakes and park around for families to spend sometime. Melton secondary college is nearby and wood grove shopping centre is across the road where we can get everything. Can't think of any negatives.

"Good straight run to the city via the freeway but so so far away and dry and flat and featureless with no views"
There is a real cost in time and money to have to live so far from the city. However there should be some benefit in terms of really nice and fresh air, larger block sizes and far cheaper land. Also it should be pleasant to the eye with hills and trees. Otherwise why bother. Melton West is just not nice enough to make it worth living so far from the city.
Not great for
- Near melton south
- High Crime
- High Vandalism

"A flat featureless outer outer suburb. Feels unsafe."
I never like suburbs where you see so many houses with cars in their front yards that should be in a wrecking yard. Another bad sign are bars on windows and unkempt nature strips. I'm sure the majority of people here are nice but the place has an unpleasant vibe.
I used to take my kids to Melton for basketball matches and the number of rude drivers is more than anywhere else in Melbourne.

Use public transport? Driving to the city takes 40 minutes, for $300,000 that is nothing. Tarneit, Tragunania and williams landing, are all over developed, under established and un serviced for $200,000 more.
35 mins on vline train relaxing or doing some work to southern cross. Then I ride my push bike for 15 mins to work. Simple.

Any recommendations regarding schools? Rent prices and homes are leading us up that way (with 4 boys cost of everything is ridiculous!) However With the way Melton has had it's name tarnished over several years I get scared placing 3 boys (prep, G4 & Yr7) in unknown territory thinking they'll turn into rat bag gangster wannabes lol when it comes to school!! Please help!
