I think you would find Boxhill a better location my friend than Hampton or Narre Warren. Your aged parents will find it easier to meet similar people and enjoy activities to widen their social network.
This is based on our own research and feelings of my wifes parents (also from Singapore, who would be horrified if we took them out to Hampton Prk or NWarren)

Happy New Year to you.
Real nice to note your comments. Houses within & around Boxhill is very expensive, not sure if there's good primary school for my daughter (age 9).
Is Hampton Park, Narre Warren a young family suburb?
Where are you putting up?
Cheers !

What sort of budget were you working towards? Sorry but I was making my points earlier focusing on your parents rather than children. However I am sure around Boxhill are some very good schools. Bare in mind some areas interlope with others so it can depend where in the area you are looking.
Melbourne is such a big place you are best to rent initially and then see the area ticks the right boxes for you - even if it means one small upheaval for the kids. Longer term its better to be in the right place for yourselves than stranded.
