what l like about living here, being a lower income earner l could afford to buy my home here twenty years ago. The services are great here with plenty of local shops where you have choices e.g. three fish and chip shops as well as pizza, chicken take away. l believe we have one of the best fish and chips shops in Melbourne here also their roast chickens are the best, l've heard other people say the same as well [better than the major chains]. A few mins drive there is Dandenong with the major shopping center there, and with all the new developments there it will flow through to Doveton making it even more attractive to people moving to the area.Plenty of public transport making it easy to get to Dandenong, Endeavour Hills and all the other surrounding suburbs. Doveton is very central to all the other major shopping centres, and easy freeway acess not having to put up with the huge traffic build up experienced further out. Over the past few years all the roads and footpaths have been renewed and repaved through out the area. There's no shortage of medical services and the Dandenong Hospital very close all the specialist medical services are very handy. There's plenty of open spaces and parklands around and plenty of sports fields. To me Doveton is the hidden gem and now people are realizing the potental of the area and what it can offer.
