Southland Westfield anchors the suburb's retail offer, while the Cheltenham station provides direct access to the CBD and Frankston. The suburb's stock of dated 1960s and 1970s homes on well-positioned lots makes it one of Kingston's most active replacement build markets.

Some streets near the Nepean Highway corridor require careful consideration of interface amenity, and Varcon's design team addresses these constraints in the initial brief stage. Heritage overlay coverage is limited. Kingston City Council.
