Suburb profile

Southern Cross is a residential smaller community in Moyne with a familiar suburban feel. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. Established families and long-term residents give the suburb a settled feel, with a strong presence of young families throughout.

The market sits in a sensible middle ground: not cheap, but fair value for the area. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.

This is a mature, settled pocket where the existing streetscape still defines the local character.
