This will be the next big, growing, highly potential suburb after Glen, Wantirna S, Scoresby and Rowville.

New development :
1. Mirvac Harcrest (under development), a newly created suburb, 1000 new homes, with its own shopping centre (IGA is one of them), lake, great landscape, etc. Surely Mirvac won't put their money if they don't see the potential.

2. St. Andrew Christian College (still in development stages), (an addition to Knox School and Waverley Christian college). Moving from Burwood, a highly ranked VCE school. Very affordable compared to schools with similar results. There are also 3 primary school and high school (Scoresby Secondary College) in the area. So many options for families with school-age kids.

3. New hardware superstore (under development, opposite to Bunning in ferntree gully rd), a joint venture Wollie & Lowe from USA. Definitely create more job opportunities and vibrancy of the area. Again, they must see the potential of the area. A good mix between business and residential. Good for families with teenager if they want a casual during spare time.

4. Eastern Recreation Precinct (under development), just after Eastlink. A center of excellence sport facilities from basketball, soccer, netball. Plus some relaxation area. Accessible via High st or George st. This will be the centre of basketball victoria.

5. Rowville rail (in discussion stage), just under 10 min from Knoxfield. An addition to Glen, Boronia and FG station. Take you to Monash Uni, Synchontron, and CBD. I am not trying to separate between Lakewood and other part of Knoxfield. Actually "old" Knoxfield is better as it has bus 753 running to Glen Waverley train station.

Surely all those facts will give a boost to the area. And its price is still cheaper compared to Wantirna S, Scoresby or Rowville.

Plus current Carribean Market (with its market, rollerrama, lakes), Scoresby business centre (Nintendo, Miele, Blanco, etc), Jells Park South (a true beauty), Eastlink and Monash freeway in close proximity.

Use Eastlink and you will end up in the tranquil Frankston beach. It is also next to major arterial and busy road, Stud rd. Go north you will reach Ringwood (Eastland SC), go south you will go to StudPark SC, Dandenong SC, Springvale (for your groceries shopping). Or go to east to Glen SC, Chadstone SC using Monash freeway. Knox SC is just few minutes driving. It is so close to very renown and established suburb in Melbourne East. Good school, good business centre, good transport, good entertainment, resto, cafe,a leafy and cool area with Dandenong ranges at the background. You can take kids to Puffing Billy, or go to Cockatoo in Olinda, Healesville. Using either Monash or Eastlink and you will reach CBD in around 35min with all the fantastic typical eastern Melbourne suburbs to stop by and visit.

Definitely one of the best suburb in Eastern Melbourne with reasonable and affordable price.
