"Caroline Springs' area"
In my opinion, Caroline Springs is a great place to live. I have been living here for 4 years. I feel safe when I walk on my own at night time (compared to where I used to live in Clayton). The area is quiet, peaceful, clean and affordable. Besides, the development has grown rapidly with many shops, food stores, child cares, just to name a few.....
I have a mate who were considering to purchase a new home between Caroline Springs and Point Cook. He did all the homework and decided to purchase one in Caroline Springs.
The infrastructure is also keeping up with the population growth, ie: the completion of Deer Park Bypass (reduce travel time) and proposed Caroline Springs train station.
The only Con I have is the frequency of the bus. I wish the bus could run more frequently.
To sum up, I have never been regret living in Caroline Springs.

Hello Yogi,
I have never parked my car at Watergarden Train Station.
My neighbour used to park his car at the Watergarden Train Station to catch the train to work. One afternoon, his car was stolen.
How long have you been parking your car at the station?
Hi Jane,
I have been catching the train at Watergardens for over three years now and I guess maybe I have been lucky. I agree with you about cars getting stolen at train stations however it is all stations not just Watergardens. When I parked my ford TX5 Telstar I did expect something as the type of car was older and very desirable amongst the thieves wanting to use my car for a joy ride. Armed with this information I had a $600 alarm installed on it with shock detection and two forms of isolation, always made sure nothing of value was left in my car and a good quality steering lock which was highly visible. I think I made it difficult enough for it not to be such a target. If you see the annual reports on car theft you would see that shopping centres are the number one hot spots. I think if you do everything you can to make your car not become a statistic you will be luckier. Unfortunately no one is protected from theft and it's only getting worse everywhere. Sad to say. Thanks for your feedback and hopefully I have given you some constructive feedback. Have a happy New Year. Cheers. Richard
Jane,
You are correct in you summary and think the area is only getting better as it is fairly new and still developing. The bus services in the nearest suburbs are just as bad, I normally drive to Sydenham station and catch the train to the station it's far quicker and more direct.
