Answer 1

I don't know much about it but visited there recently. The suburb is very pretty located as it is in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne. It's near Ferntree Gully National Park and Sherbrooke Forest which are both beautiful with magnificent temperate rainforest. There were some lovely houses there which I think would be quite expensive, but there seemed to be more ordinary houses too. Can't really comment on safety, but it looked like it would be OK.

Answer 2

This is a really unique area, as the Dandenongs are really pretty mountains, very countrified, lot's of gorgeous tearooms and quaint shops  ashort drive away in places like Olinda and Sassafras,  probably the only drawback is distance from Melbourne, as the CBD is about an hour away, more in heavy traffic.
