There are also a handful of shopping districts besides Maroubra Junction including the areas surrounding Maroubra Beach. One of them including the once-thriving Lexington Place. Known as "Lexo" to the locals, Lexington Place has become a notorious 'no go zone' in the area as result of high rates of crime, often blamed by the high concentration of Housing Commission estates. McKeon Street is the street running straight onto the beach, it is home to a stretch of shops including some well known restaurants in the area.
