Too far from city and bad transport. Doesnt really feel like you are in melb as it is a chore to go to there and you are living in a forest with bad internet connections.

Quiet area, base of dandenongs, leafy, large blocks that can't be developed. Safe area

Beautiful trees close to shops, Knox shopping centre 10 minutes ect. Dandenong Rangers National Park, 4 minute walk. Train to City 3 minute drive. Quite, extremely low crime rate. No majors road passing through. Large blocks. Room to move. Beautiful!!!!!

Been living here for nearly two years now, and can honestly say that it is one of the best places I've ever lived. Quiet, safe, peaceful, picturesque with the national park to the rear, close to public transport (either bus or Boronia train station) and shopping (including a Kmart open til midnight close by at Boronia.. and just a 10 min drive to Knox City and Eastland Shopping Centres). Never had a problem with security, only the occasional party that is usually wrapped up by midnight. Plenty of access to medical facilities as well as schools.

A wonderful community to live in and a great place for kids to explore A+++++

I have lived here for 8 years and love the fact you feel as though you're in the country when you're only 5 mins from Boronia and all the hustle and bustle!
