we moved here from interstate about 12 months ago and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Whilst I don't have the history of Carnegie to comment on what i can share is - it is very kid friendly, quiet, safe and also a very convenient location. With the new train line in place, the station becomes one of the best in Melbourne and the express train gets you into the city in 20mins or less. It looks like a big redevelopment may happen with the pool which, should have plenty of upside but may bring traffic to a rather quiet area. The dog park, and football grounds are great for exercise and to take the kids. Koornang road has plenty of options for dining out as well as all the amenities you need. I had a laugh to myself when i read some comments about "gangs" and is carnegie "safe" - as i have never felt safer and happily allow my children to ride their bikes and skateboard around the neighborhood so unsure if this was once an issue in the past. You are within 5mins drive of other parks, pools, entertainment options and chadstone shopping center. There are a handful of school options and i believe the glen huntly school has just secured a huge upgrade grant. We are super happy with our experience so far but it does look to be getting into the very expensive range.
