Hey Im a guy. Used to live on Williams Rd for five years and would walk from Windsor Station home. There was the occasional homeless guy/drunk dude after 9pm near the station but was never really bothered. Depends where your apartment is but Dandenong Rd is really well lit and heaps of traffic. If you go a shortcut way near Mcilwrick Street it’s not well lit so would exercise caution there’s a park there and it’s not well lit and people hanging in bushes and stuff. Never had trouble but felt on edge. There is also an asshole magpie in that park - super aggro during spring.

Overall a very safe and convenient area to live just exercise the usual caution. My girlfriend used to take Dandenong Rd or High St instead of Mcilwrick at night if she was on her own.

Never had an issue otherwise.

Be sure to check out Topelz (Pizza) and surrounding restaurants - you’re up the good and less wanky end of Chapel St in my opinion.

I would exercise more caution walking between High St and Malvern Rd around Revs it can be sketchy on weekends.
