"Convenient for living all year round"

Been living here for over 10 years. Enjoying the vibrant environment and busy shopping centres. Travelling to CBD is easy and convenient. Near to medical centres and other educational centres. Great Greek, Asian and Mediterranean to European type restaurants. Reasonable council rates and plenty of parks to visit.

"It’s decent"

Apart from the high crime rate, it has nice parks, places to eat out and also it is right next to Clayton station and huntingdale station. The old Clayton North part needs work
