I have lived in bayside all my life, and only recently moved to Hampton East (around 3 years ago?) and I love it.
1. Lots of families, you feel so safe walking around - amazing vibes, not snobby at all
2. Wide streets, well kept houses with character and mostly beautifully manicured yards
3. VERY dog friendly, there are 3-4 open areas I can take my dog to, and a fully enclosed dog park on Wishart St (can I just say the people at that dog park are top notch too)
4. Affordable, although prices are rising quickly as it's a burgeoning
5. Easy access to public transport - 10mins walk to Moorabbin station OR 5mins drive to Brighton beach station
6. Great parks, especially GL Basterfield park which has swans/ducks and 2 playgrounds for kids

Things that can be improved?
- There isn't a huge selection of decent restaurants/cafes near here, so we end up driving to Brighton/Hampton/Highett/Bentleigh
- Creepy commission(?) housing splattered across the suburb, the residents can be a little shady (especially around Wickham/Bluff Rd, I would advice against buying near there)
