Was just wondering what the area of Hampton park in melbourne is like?

Question

My partner, and I are currently looking at places to buy a house in the next year or so. We have an 8 month old son and was just wondering what the area of Hampton Park is like? We want to move to the Eastern, South. East subs and to somewhere that is safe to bring up our little boy. I have heard that hampton park is a high crime area. Not sure what to believe though. Can anyone help? I think i would prefer narre warren or berwick but my partner isnt quite sure.

Answer 1

I have friends that live in Hampton Park and they have told me that one part of it is trouble and the other is not. They like living there, but don't have kids. I know it is in a real growth area with lots of new housing estates being built around there. In saying that, I have two kids and I don't think they would be in danger if we lived there, it's just your typical middle class suburbia.  

Answer 2

Nice place there, I live 15 mins away from there. From Hampton Park it's just a 10 minute drive east to Fountain Gate shopping centre.

However if you feel uncomfortable go to Berwick or Narre Warren. It's super close to Fountain Gate for all of your shopping needs and it is extremely quiet there.
