"Springvale South is a well facilitated Suburb"
Springvale South, a suburb below Springvale, beside Clayton South, above Dingley Village and Keysborough. It is a quiet suburb that is surrounded with convenience of established facilities nearby. It is 22 Km away from CBD and well served with choices of going for major connecting highways such as Dingley Bypass, Monash Freeway and Nepean Hwy. It is also a 15 mins drive down to the coast at Chelsea via Springvale Rd. Springvale Rd also runs all the way up to Glen Waverly and ends at Doncaster. The nearest train Stations are Westall or Springvale Stations. If you choose to take a train to CBD, it is just 21 mins journey from Springvale Station.
There are also neighbourhood parks and dominated by Buddhist community. It is not like the busy Chinatown in Springvale suburb and yet a stroll or short drive away from it. It is also not plague with landfills like the nearby surrounding suburbs. Some people may feel intimidated by the larger Asian population (making up of Vietnamese, Chinese and other southeast Asian populations) but this is because it is near to the biggest Chinatown in Eastern Suburb. The residents here are spoilt with varieties of food, eateries, takeaways, Yum Cha restaurants at very affordable prices. The fresh produces are cheap compared to other suburbs and some are half the prices of major supermarket.
The nearby shopping malls are Ikea, and the up coming M-City are just 10mins away.
It used to be a suburb established by new working class migrants and refugees but that Generation has already grown into local Australian professional families. The government schools are pretty average but there are a couple of good private schools around the area. This suburb is NBN ready, the streets width are generous in size.The prices of properties here are picking up growth speed as there is only about 3000 odd homes and not many are in the market. If you love Asian food, love multi-cultural diversity, want to enjoy the affordable food and necessities, you would want to move here. Remember, prices will all go up and up in location that are well served in the future. It is already growing at 11%pa in prices and it will be a million dollar suburb in a few years.

"Landfills Smell and Seagulls"
I worked around here in one of the factory. The smell from the landfill is terrible and it's bad for health. Traffic is an issue in the main road and I always bump into the rubbish trucks. For those with a weak stomach and children would you want to stay anywhere near to a rubbish dump? You may want to consider this place to stay 5 years down the road when the train station upgrades completes. But remember the landfill will continue to leach methane gas, frankly speaking we can't smell methane gas? When we can smell methane gas, the concentration must be extremely high. Methane gas was added with smell commercially to warn people of the hazards of explosion. It is not worth to put money into landfill areas.
