I have been living in this suburb since April 2021. I feel very happy to be here as the locality and street is very nice and quiet. People are great. Shopping centre and grocery stores are plenty.

Absolutely great suburb with a great changes that have made through out the year. Still affordable for many home buyers looking to buy in the area. With all transport available to commute to City and back. Still lots of great improvements on the way.

I have lived in and worked within the area for a number of years and find myself continually impressed by the amount of growth occurring. Properties have seen continual (year by year) growth in both price and quality, fully supported by adequate upgrades in infrastructure and large common areas for all to enjoy. If you are looking at purchasing in the area feel free to contact me at any time. Chris Utley - Real estate agent at Ray White Noble Park and surrounds.

Moved in this suburb last year...house close to princess highway, closer to Noble Park north..about 1.6 kilometres from train station. Overall experience has been great so far. If you are happy to drive around plenty of shopping and dining options within 10 km radius, Waverley Gardens shopping centre 5 minutes and Parkmore shopping centre about 12 minutes. Dandenong market is great for fresh produce. There is not a lot of movement in the property market in terms of independent houses. A lot of townhouses are being built in the area closer to station. Mordialloc beach is approximately 15 minutes drive. MiXed population, primarily Indian/Srilankan/Italian/Sudanese. In terms of stigma attached to this suburb, I think it has changed a great deal in the past couple of years and will continue to change. Plenty of cops around the train station which adds to the safety feel of the area. Upgraded train station and increased bus services are great addition to the transport facilities. It is a suburb to consider for young families who can't really afford a million dollar home yet!!

Noble park houses are growing due to new railway station. .schools close to everything and a good investeme area. As glen Waverley and Mulgrave very expensive. Noble park will grow soon

Been through this area for 25 years. Whilst other suburbs have improved I can say that this place has not. New box units and apartments are being built but residents don't take care much. Spill over from Springvale with people chasing cheaper homes.

Lived in the area for 3 years. Was initially hesitant due to its reputation but was very affordable. It has its trouble spots especially near the station , but a lot of recent development has made many families move in which is slowly improving the safety of Noble park. Not many shopping / dining options and schools are just ok except maybe Wallarano primary. Noble park aquatic centre is a highlight of the suburb. Very multicultural area, mostly Indians and Eastern Europeans and some African background. I have seen cops visiting the apartment blocks around the suburb so advise to stay away from those areas. The Harrisfield part of Noble park is probably the best option if you're a young family. Bit far from M1 but pretty easy access to princes hwy and easy link.

We lived here for about 2 years before we had to get closer to the Cbd and really enjoyed it. Being close to Springvale, Dandenong and such a frequent railway line is great, as well as M3 and M1 freeways. The demographics have changed heaps and the old story of burglaries and gangs are long gone. It’s true that the area is still improving but I would definitely try to get in before it’s unaffordable. A very under rated suburb for all walks of life.

Just bought a unit. No problems whatsoever. The place like train station getting a face lift. Amenities are very close by. Not many good school nearby. Overall a nice place to live.

Used to love living here but recently has been a spout of armed robberies including our own place and cars. Due to the high incidence rate we will be moving as it has kept increasing in the past few months with nearby gang formation

Just bought a unit and had no problems whatsoever. A lot of old houses are torn down and new ones erected. Noble Park station and it's surrounding are undergoing major change and looks like rejuvenating.
Heard of some burglary cases before but then even at Mount Waverley and Glen Waverley there are burglaries. No suburb is immune to burglary. One has to put in place detection and deterence measure in their houses like alarm etc.
A lot of suburbs with some past bad reputation are getting better and better due to improvement in socio economic standards. I believe Noble Park along with Spring vale, Frankston north and Clayton south are such suburbs that will benefit in long run. The recent increase in properties prices in such suburbs are a testimony to that.

Because there are so many townhouses going up there are a lot of young families here to the point where if you are older (retired) or single you don't quite fit in. There are many schools and some nice parks, and in the evenings people play with their children in the park and walk around the ovals, and on the streets they walk their dogs and others cycle. I have been walking in the late afternoons for a few years now and have never had any issues. I would not risk walking at night, though. Security is a concern; when I first moved in I was burglarised. Then again later on. I had to take extra security measures. The quality of new buildings here is bad. Cracks are appearing in mine and they used the cheapest materials possible. So be warned! If you buy here INSPECT the property VERY CAREFULLY FIRST. A few houses down (apart from the townhouses) is the 'party house' where they have very loud parties every public holiday. That gets annoying. Often police cars will flash past and people will use your yard as a thoroughfare. I had someone break a glass bottle in my backyard once. No idea why. The 'yards' that come with townhouses here are barely yards at all. Don't expect to be able to have a dog or much exercise or even a BBQ in your 'yard'. There is a lot of shopping nearby - Parkmore, Dandenong Plaza, Springvale. But the local options are limited; the Coles is tiny and doesn't stock everything. I don't bother with anything else in town - it's just easier to go somewhere more civilised! Every time I go to Coles there's either someone drunk, someone on drugs or someone begging or busking for money out the front. The people who live here, because it's so affordable, can be quite mean - and not just mean in terms of money. Mean about everything, actually. Judgemental and rude. Extremely discriminating towards you if you're a single female. The amount of times I've been harassed... By male neighbours who insist on having their own way all the time, men on trains, men in cars. It just gets to be a bit too much. I would like to move where there are more single people and the people aren't so nasty about things like parking spots and letterboxes and trees. Where the people are just generally nicer to me.

Noble park is full of parasites that want to take over the universe run, they will pretend to be family and loved one bu they are fake, run while you can before it's too late.

We bought a townhouse very close to station. The place is awesome which some of the reviews doesn't align at all. Things have changed drastically in couple of years. Very friendly people, lots of shopping options, affordable (but not any more), excellent transport and many things. I would say that my investment in this area has high returns .

People are so unfriendly, I find noble park associated more with very low socioeconomic status, most people who live her seem to be like the drunken type, and are full of hatred, neighbours are rude and it's just not a healthy environment to live. Parking in front of houses is disgusting! People fight over parking spots to the death point and it's terrible. I really hate the place and will never think of living there!
It's full of thiefs and theft incidents as well!!!
I have seen people being caught by security stealing from Coles there !!!

Have lived here for almost two years now. Have nothing but positive things to say. Have always felt safe. Great food available very close by with a fantastic shopping strip. Train is walking distance. Lots of new town houses at affordable prices. Paramore a very short 5 minute drive away. Schools very close by. Very happy living here.

moving from Oakleigh to Noble Park last year, it has been actually not bad area. While we were waiting for the town house to be done, one of the neighbourhood tried to scare us by saying "you guys better have a big dog here". So far, nothing bad happened, just one of my express mail package got open by random people in my post mail. To buy groceries is very convenient, close to Springvale market, parkmore shopping centre, dandenong plaza and we all have cars here, we don't mind a bit drive to chaddy or even southland shopping centre. the downside might be night time ,dont hanging around in station or walk around in estate, still can hear the train sound when its beep beep, and also racing cars. other than that, it is ok. We are considering moving, not because we don't like it here, its just members of the family getting bigger, we need bigger house and more space. any one recommended good and affordable suburb for 4 bedrooms plus study?

Had a great cheap, no frills lunch $8 at Little Lanka. It could have been hotter, but the flavours were great and authentic, as the presence of many customers eating in the traditional style and washing their hands afterwards testifed (plastic cutlery is available), providing equally authentic 'ambience'. Felt perfectly safe walking around the shops at midday, although i wouldn't dress up to draw attention to myself. This is an authentic Australian battlers' suburb

No Problem, very safe n close to everything. Still Affordable but things are changing(as prices are going up). Streets close to Princess highway are best, as highway n freeway both easily accessible.

I am a student who moved in order to study, and when I saw the cheap rental prices in Noble Park I couldn't resist; until everyone I talked to told me what a bad area it was. Having looked around though, it didn't seem too bad.

Lived here for a few months now and I love it; the train station is so close, as is coles, and by public transport it's 20 mins to chadstone or dandenong plaza, 45 minutes to the city and not too far to fountain gate either! Not much to do around here, but the train line makes it easy to go to events nearby. Some areas feel very unsafe however, and I do not reccommend hanging around the station at night, but I think that's true for every suburb. I love the multicultural vibe of the area, and you're likely to run into all sorts of cultures.

Must say though, for op-shoppers? The op-shops close very early, and the largest of them, Salvos, is closed by 2:30pm every day.

All in all; not the flashiest area, but a very cheap and convenient one.

We bought a house here a year ago closer to Princess Highway north of the railway.

Very happy - so many shopping centres and supermarkets, close to public transports (trains and buses), many schools, close to Monash Uni, friendly neighbours, lots of places for take away, close to the beach, many parks, aquatic centre, new skate park, strip of shops near the station, fireworks throughout the year, Dandenong, Springvale and Clayton not too far away for multi-cultural meals, libraries and community centres and government facilities (e.g. Centrelink, Immigration Office, Tax Office) close by, a few hospitals to choose from, Monash Freeway and Eastlink, etc I think it's great for young familes.

I do wish they had trendier cafes and restaurants nearby but we can easily go to Glen Waverley. Sandowns Race Course can be noisy at times, but this usually happens only a few times a month and once we close the windows and doors, it's not that noisy. I would avoid walking around the streets at night and I would tend to stay away from the station unless it's day time.

We wish we bought a house on a full-block rather than a unit, other than that, we are very happy. Very affordable for a suburb with all the above features.

Very lively Town, lot of sports and recreational areas, Swimming Pool, 3 nearby Shopping Centres, Local Shops open till late

Noble Park has been changing slowly over the past 10-15 years. Old houses are being knocked down in exchange for new Townhouses, units and large houses. The main strip has had a makeover and the council has more plan to gentrify the area. Noble park is also set for a massive change to the 3 main station crossings on Corrigan Road, Heatherton Road and Chandler Road. Such changes will not only ease traffic congestion but will also give the environment a much needed facelift.

Noble Park has always been a great investment oportunity offering good capital growth and exceptional rental yield. I truly believe this suburb will soon take off following the significant price growth in neighboring suburbs such as Mulgrave and Springvale. Noble Park just like any other suburb has its share of Trouble Makers but the news of the past is no reflection of the suburb today!

I lived for 6 years now, Nothing has gone wrong so far. Its Affordable and sensibel choice for people with a decent budget. Its 45 Min from City, 15 min to beach, 5-10 mins to three shopping centre. Three train stop for this suburb. It is sorrounded by expensive suburbs meaning prices will go up in coming years

Suburb is great for FHO, as it is affordable with loads facility all around , I dont see any difference from sorrounding suburbs just leave the 4 streets either side of station you be right.

1. Two Bunnings Warehouses within 5 minutes of Dunblane Road - one on the left at 754-768 Princes Hwy and one on the right at 1-5 Gladstone Road (off Princess Hwy)
2. Three Coles Supermarkets - one on intersection of Princess Hwy and Springvale Road (5 minutes drive), one in Noble Park Central (10 to 15 minutes walk) towards Heatherton Road, and a 24 hour Coles at Dandenong (5 minutes drive via Princess Hwy)
3. Dandenong Market is 5 minutes drive via Princess Hwy. It has the cheapest fruits and vegetables in town. There is a butcher that sells the tastiest roast chicken for $7 (Premier Poultry). During mango season, a box of mangoes can sell for $15, often they are sold at $10 towards closure at 4pm. I would always buy fruits, vegetables, meats and seafood from Dandenong Market or Springvale as there is big difference in quality and price compared to buying at Coles or Woolworths
4. Dandenong Plaza is 5 minutes drive via Princess Hwy
5. McDonalds (24 hours) is 10 to 15 minutes walk via Princess Hwy at the corner of Princess Hwy/Elonera Rd
6. Two KFCs - one within 10 minutes walk to the right of Princess Hwy and one on the left of Dunblane Rd at intersection of Princess Hwy/Springvale Rd
7. Noble Park train station is 10 to 15 minutes walk via Heatherthon Road, . Two lines service this area - Cranbourne and Pakenham lines
8. Eastlink (M3) is accessible within 5 minutes drive down Princes Hwy . Monash Freeway (M1) is accessible within 10 minutes drive down Jacksons Road (, corner of 24 hour McDonalds)
9. Springvale is 10 minutes via Heatherton Road. It is predominantly a Vietnamese community, meaning there are plenty of nice Vietnamese restaurants and Asian groceries. There are shops selling refreshing sugar cane juice. My favourite is the Vietnamese sandwich rolls that are between $3.50 to $5
10. IKEA Springvale is 10 minutes drive towards city via Princess Hwy. It is located in Springvale Homemaker Centre which opened recently. There is also a JB Hi-Fi in the centre (WEB:http://springvalehomemakercentre.com.au). Plenty of shopping here
11. Chadstone Shopping Centre is 20 minutes drive towards city via Princess Hwy
12. Waverley Gardens Shopping Centre is 12 minutes drive via Browns Road or Elonera Road/Jacksons Road (WEB: http://www.waverleygardens.com.au)
13. Monash University, Clayton Campus is close by (15 minutes drive), meaning plenty of students wanting to rent (if you are wanting to rent out a room or two)
14. Noble Park Aquatic Centre is nearby, near train station at 9 Memorial Drive, corner Heatherton Road (WEB: http://www.nobleparkac.com.au)
15. Spotlight is at intersection of Princess Hwy and Springvale Road (5 minutes drive via Princess Hwy)
16. Italian style fruit and vegetable market (Market Europa) is within 10 minutes walk via Princess Hwy
17. Sandown racecourse is 5 minutes drive via Princess Hwy. It is home of Sandown Classic (horse racing) and Sandown 500 (V8 supercars racing). Lots of other activities at Sandown throughout the year such as Holland Festival in February each year (WEB: http://www.hollandfestival.com.au/index.html), TET Festival (Vietnamese). Events calendar available at (WEB: http://www.sandown.net.au/events)
18. Dan Murphy is 5 minutes drive via Princess Hwy near intersection of Princess Hwy/Springvale Road. A much closer bottle shop is BWS at Sandown Park Hotel
19. Restaurant and bar at Sandown Park Hotel (5 minutes drive to Cnr Corrigan Rd & Princes Hwy). Also on the same location but across the road is 'Highways - Ahern's Irish Bar' (WEB: http://www.pubfinda.com.au/venues/in/vic/springvale/highways-aherns-irish-bar). There is a TAB in the Irish bar. The Vale Hotel is another pub, restaurant and tavern at 2277 Dandenong Road, Springvale (corner of Princess Hwy/Springvale Road - WEB: www.valehotel.com.au). The Vale Hotel is a good place to have a beer and watch your favourite sports
20. Edithvale Beach is 20 to 30 minutes drive down Springvale Road

Moved to this area a year ago as the house prices were affordable for me. I think I made a good decision as there may be some dodgy parts but the ones that are good are pretty decent. Lots of developers are now rushing to the area and building new homes and units and more families now moving into the area. If you drive around the suburb (especially the parts that used to be called harrisfield some years ago, you will see that this place has a lot potential and the future seems to be bright for anyone buying in this area. Overall, I think I made the right decision buying here as the house prices will rocket in the coming years.

Its nice place to live, about 45 mins from City centre. Its central to all facilities,pool and shopping centre like Parkmore,Waverly Garden , Dandenong Plaza. Three train station NOble park, Sandown and Yarraman. Its been getting the uplift in recently. Also Prices in Noble have started going upward due to all this development going around here.

Noble Park used to be a place to avoid, however, it's more policed these days and station isn't as dangerous as it once was. Very noisy when the V8 Supercars come to Sandown Race Course!! however, there are plenty of signs of change to come, it's still considered a low income area, but in time Noble Park will improve.

Great prices on houses through Noble Park. Awesome place for first homers, just avoid houses near stations which is the only place you'll ever run into trouble. other than that, just a nice suburb for young families or first homers.

Recently undergone substantial residential redevelopment and is looking to be one of Melbournes next booming suburbs. There has also been recent investment by local and state governments, including the Paddy O'Donoghue Community Complex which opened in 2006, the redevelopment of Noble Park Railway Station and the new Aquatic centre which is home to melbournes largest water slide for the new generation of families surfacing. In terms of public amenities, there are a number of schools; and religious centers including Churches, Temples and Mosques. In terms of businesses, the Noble Park shopping district houses many high quality bakeries, cafés and restaurants and convenience stores. Being formerly market gardens, Noble Park has fertile soil and to this day still has a large number of River Red Gum trees, the fertile soil in noble park gives the suburb a lush and green look all year round. There are three stations in the Noble Park vicinity (Noble Park, Sandown and Yarraman) and four bus routes that service the suburb. Noble Park has ample of parklands, bicycle and walking tracks, South Eastern Hospital, Medical Clinics and lets not forget easy access to East Link and not to mention sporting facilities, golf courses and the all new Noble Park Aquatic Centre.. For the Beach lovers Edithvale beach is only 15 minute drive. This suburb is definitely undervalued and has plenty of upside!!

My husband won't let me go to the shops at night by myself, he comes with me for safety, I keep all my doors locked when driving, one of our neighbors has a habit of whistling very early in the morning and very late at night. Another neighbor has his friends over all the time and all you can hear for the next three hours is "f**k this" "f**k that" at the top of their lungs. Another neighbor has been renovating their house for over a year so we constantly have trucks blocking our narrow street and the piercing sound of electric saws going when ever they damn well please. Our small street has become a main thoroughfare for traffic to avoid a set of lights. We get cars motorbikes and big trucks come flying down our street. The trucks don't seem to care it is a small residential street and on numerous occasions have knocked down our phone line.

To sum it up... I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE!!!

Bought a unit here in 2011 mainly due to ease of train services to other destinations! Bus is good too, but was even more surprised when I discovered the Parkmore shopping centre a short drive away, & three large pubs for evening entertainment, not in the heart of Noble Park, but a $10 taxi ride to each. Primary schools are within walking distance & a Coles Supermarket in the centre. Downside is the area is a but tacky still, but you can see signs of the developers moving in everywhere with new units & rebuilt homes popping up everywhere. The new Swimming pool due to open in Feb 2012 with a huge waterslide will attract more residents & visitors also, and plans to put the train under the main roads in the next couple of years will also change the area dramatically. Noble Park is a lot cheaper than surrounding suburbs, mainly due to its multicultural tenants, but both property prices & rental rates will change that demographic in coming years. Really it cant fail to appreciate albeit slowly.
I took the gamble & bought, but rentals are so low you could try it for a while & then make a decision.

Noble Park is probably not as bad as the media make out, HOWEVER it is still full of a large number (more than average) of criminals, jailbirds, junkies and other undesirables. This is mainly due to the comparatively low property prices and low rents that attract the less desirable members of the community. The burglary rate is high, I have known many people who live there who have been broken into, some on numerous occassions. Definitely a place to invest in a good security system, window shutters, security lights and perhaps a nice big guard dog. Lots of good people in Noble, unfortunately lots of crims and junkies as well. So when you see that nice new shining home for sale at a comparitively "cheap" price compared to surrounding suburbs, understand "why" the property prices are cheaper in Noble Park!

This suburb really surprised us. Not wanting to believe all we heard from the media about this suburb we moved to Noble Park with an idea to invest our Noble Park property in a few years and buy elsewhere but the suburb suited us so well we decided to stay and raise a family. The facilities are great and although I wouldn't travel on any public transport after dark no matter where I lived, I found the public transport around Noble Park to be reliable and safe whenever I did use it - which was everyday as I travel to the city daily and commute by both bus and train from Noble Park. I have lived in suburbs such as Rowville which have virtually no public transport which meant I could not go anywhere (even to the shopping centre) if I didn't have a car handy. Another aspect of this suburb that we love is the neighbourhood. We have australian, greek, vietnamese, german and mauritian neighbours who are forever bringing over baked goodies and vegetables from their gardens and who will all help out each other without a second thought. We have had our rubbish bins taken in on several occasions and have no worries about telling our neighbours to look after our home and feed our pets when we are on holidays. We have lived in other suburbs and have never experienced this neighbourly generosity and willingness to help each other. We also loved that Noble Park is a close drive to so many different places such as the beach, the dandenong mountains, major shopping centres and even the city is only a half hour drive and with the new freeway this is even quicker. Our kids have grown up here happily and without incident and as parents we can't ask for more. Noble Park is a very large suburb and every suburb has unsafe areas even brighton and st kilda although these are known as 'upmarket' suburbs. Unfortunately the media has contributed to tainting this suburb's friendliness from a few reported incidents which are no more or less than many other suburbs. If you are looking to live in Noble Park - Go for it! It's a great suburb and all property experts have Noble Park on their radars as the next best place to buy a home. I still live here - I know.

I lived in Noble Park for many years, and went to school there. It's a pretty rough neighborhood, I'd walk to and from school each day and I would often find myself frightened. We invested in a security system and always kept our doors and windows locked. We even acquired a dog for extra security. At night there would be cars drag racing up and down our street and many people causing a ruckus would create a lot of noise, particularly annoying when you've got to be up early in the morning.
The traffic between school pickup times and mass on Buckley St was a nightmare, so I'd recommend buying a property away from this area.
The shops that are available are pretty average, the only ones I would recommend are the bakeries. The Noble Park Coles is a notorious hot spot for shop lifters.
Although the availability of the public transport was good, I never felt safe at the strain station. Any one from Noble Park would know that it's not a place you'd go after dark.
The people we lived next door to were very friendly, and overall the people on our street were nice.

I lived in rowville then moved to mulgrave and now i live in noble park.I had some misgivings at first regards noble park but it's not as bad as i thought.If i had a choice of living in dandenong or noble park,i would choose noble park.Sure it's not my preferred place to live but it's a great starting point to buy your first house/unit etc.I'd highly recommend if your getting out of the rental trap and buying your first home.

It is a great place to live, i myself was against buying in Noble Park as there was a word of mouth that it is not safe.. SO i decided to rent first then buy and i end up buying here, it is not bad at all, just have to be careful in dark around train station as you would in any other high profile suburb. Great neighbor hood, friendly and great retail shops and multicultural environment.

I really don't know why alot of people tell me that noble park is not safe. When I say that I live in Noble park, people immediately say "is it safe there?" Well, I have been living in clayton and noble park and I can say that Noble Park is safer than Clayton. In fact, I think people just assume that it is not safe. I have lived here for two years now and it is safe and affordable. It is closed Springvale and train station.

Here is the stats from racv about the most burgled house. Noble park is not even on the top 40 most burgled suburb. Clayton is on the 12th.

Property values are increasing very fast .. Culture is changing to attarct more young Professionals that work in The CBD and want affordable place to buy

Not a bad place much better than the reputation it has. Seems to be the place to buy your first home then move away "transiant suburb"

Very multicultural with a shopping strip that is noce and close, 2 trainstations make access to the city very easy.

Good area, quiet and has good accessed to public transports and major highways. It's 15 minutes away to Glen Waverley Shopping Centre and close to Dandenong and Springvale and is part of the Melb2030 development plan. Property prices is currently growing steady. Recommended as an affordable suburb for First Home Buyers.

Noble park is an affordable suburb compared to Springvale, and keysbourough yet the suburb is very near to those two suburbs.

It is very easy to get food (3-5 minutes drive to Springvale), very near to the train station. you can choose whether you want to take the trains in Noble park, Sandown or even Springvale station.
