About Hampton Park

Hampton Park is a working family suburb of 26,000 in Casey, located 37 kilometres southeast of Melbourne's CBD. The suburb lacks direct rail, with buses connecting to Hallam and Dandenong stations. Developed primarily from the 1990s, Hampton Park offers affordable housing stock in the southern growth corridor, with Lynbrook shopping centre nearby for daily needs.

The community is diverse and family-oriented, with parks, schools, and sporting facilities serving the population. The suburb sits between established Dandenong and growing Cranbourne, offering an affordable middle-ground in the southeast. Hampton Park attracts working families, often first-home buyers or migrants, seeking affordable homes with reasonable access to employment in Dandenong's industrial areas and the broader southeastern corridor.

Hampton Park falls under postcode 3976 and is governed by Casey Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Narre Warren South (South-Eastern Metropolitan) electorate.
