About Clarinda

Clarinda is a small residential suburb in Melbourne's south east at postcode 3169, within the City of Kingston. It is bordered by Clayton to the east, Oakleigh South to the west, and Cheltenham to the south west. The suburb is compact and almost entirely residential, with no major commercial strip of its own.

The suburb takes its name from Clarinda Road, the main artery running east to west through the area. Most of Clarinda's housing stock dates from the 1950s to the 1970s, with established gardens and a settled, quiet character. Newer townhouses and dual occupancies have appeared on the main roads over the past decade.

Oakleigh Station on the Pakenham/Cranbourne lines is the nearest rail connection, giving residents access to the Frankston/Cranbourne line services and direct trains to Flinders Street. Westfield Southland in Cheltenham is the main retail destination, with Clayton's commercial strip also nearby for everyday services and the Monash Medical Centre.
