Wantirna South, VIC 3152

I've grown up in Wantirna South and have lived here for over 30 years. I live in the 2nd most expensive street, Gateshead Drive which is directly opposite Knox City Shopping Centre. I love that it is very safe and it's never on the news ! I have everything at my doorstep including three buses 737, 901 and 664. It is becoming very expensive as the median house price is over 1 million. I highly recommend Wantirna South to anyone. I wouldn't live anywhere else.

Wantirna South feels like home. I lived there with my family for 25 years, having only recently moved out. I have always felt safe walking the block & we have had great neighbors. Lovely little parks and very close to Jells Park which has a nice cafe and farmers market. Easy access to Eastlink at High Street Road. Quick drive to Knox City, Eastland or The Glen. Pretty drive to Sassafrass and Olinda for brunch & not far to the 1000 Steps. Great fresh food grocers on High Street Road (look for the big watermelon). Only downside is limited public transport & could do with a few more atmospheric cafes. Big Bean at Wantirna Mall's quite good & The Keystone Restaurant on the new Harcrest estate is a nice place for dinner if you didn't want to head into the inner city suburbs or up to Knox Ozone.

I've lived here for 2 years and it was a great decision. Quiet streets, friendly neighbours, great Parks and open space. This suburb is under going rapid change with all the scummy bogans moving out as it's now too expensive. Great schools and Knox shopping centre expanding. This will be a blue chip suburb in 5 years. Close to city, beaches aren't far, Mt Dandy a short drive. This will be a millionaire suburb.

Just one little and negative feedback in relation to Wantirna South Primary School. This school is negative and you should avoid it if you are coming from diverse background.

I travel to Wantirna South on a weekly basis for shopping. It seems like a nice safe suburb with an outstanding knox school. I just hope the 75 tram line can get extended to Wantirna South so I don't need to take my car to Westfield all the time...

I grew up here, It isnt great but the house prices are going up very very quickly, old dumps are getting silly money.

it isnt a bad area anymore but it isnt special either.

Not a popular suburb; but it turns out better than I thought

We live near Renou Road and it's terrific, the streets are wide and well maintained, the neighbours help each other and are friendly. It's a great suburb to bring up children, as the schools and kinders are excellent, there are fantastic shops and restaurants and great facilities like AMF bowling and Village Cinema in Knox City, it's easy to get to the seaside straight down Eastlink, a handy hour and a half for the mountains for snow in winter, and an easy 25 min drive into the city, which only takes us 25 minutes off peak. The walks, cycle paths, playgrounds and reserves are clean and there are lots of them, which means we have plenty of wildlife visiting us!

Wantirna South is excellent in every sense of the word dont know what the other reviewer i stalking about it being industrial perhaps he does not know that there is a difference between wantirna and Wantirna South we live off cathies lane and it is beautifull all the residents here take pride in their houses and gardens and it is so easy to get anywhere with so much close proximity to easlink , burwood highway
absolutely adore this place
