Moved into the new Somerfield Estate in Keysborough and what a great move it has been. We are a young family and there are plenty of parks and schools around. Neighbours are all very friendly and are either young couples starting out or families.

Keysborugh is situated in a great location because its not too far from the city but far enough that you dont get the drunks and knife fights of the inner city. However if you need to go into the city Eastlink & Monash freeway get you there in no time, i work in Richmond and it only takes me 1/2 hour to get in.

Very safe suburb, take walks with the little one all the time and never felt unsafe. As mentioned i work in the inner city and there are places i wouldnt take my kids around there, see drug deals in broad daylight.

Alot of shopping options, Parkmore is quite good for the day to day stuff but you also have Chadstone, Southland and Dandenong that are not very far, all within 15 mintues. Food spots in the area are not bad, mainly fast food but there are a few restuarants popping up.

Optical fibre in the new estates makes the internet a dream and recycle water is also a good addition for the garden, don't have to worry about water restrictions.

All in all a great place to raise a family.

Seen a few negative comments on this site, but they just seem to be from people who wish they could live in the suburb but cant afford it...
