Bentleigh
"Over Priced, Over Rated, & Over It!"
Have been here for three years, & in this period have seen the area go steadily downhill. The main shopping strip on Center Rd is now very "downmarket" with a large amount of $2 shops, very few quality retailers. Traffic is impossible most of the time & especially at peak hour due to being only a narrow 2 lane road anyway. The suburb also suffers from over development, many cheaply built dual occupancy units & consequent congestion which contributes to the lowering standards of general amenities. Did we mention everything is super expensive? Its like the tradies & shops all think because the place is close to Brighton they can charge whatever they want. Be prepared for bad value all round, and shop elsewhere.

I still love Bentleigh for the PROs .. it IS close to everything ( the city, the beach, amenities etc ), but Cricketboy makes many valid points, unfortunately :/
