Best neighbourhood to live in melbourne, australia? |
Travel Info I am a south indian moving with family to melbourne australia. Please suggest the good neighbourhood. suggest any good primary school also. thanks for the help. Travel Tips G'day, Unfortunately you did not specify what price range of property you are looking for. Most Melbournians are looking around the East, South and Southeast side, so the price of the properties on those sides are pretty expensive. The inner suburbs are old houses, pretty dense and small, with expensive prices due to their closeness to the CBD. If I'm not mistaken, there are quite a number of Indians lives in Northcote (northern suburb) and Glen Waverley (Southeastern suburb). I used to live in Collingwood and Clifton Hill (the inner suburbs) with my parents. When I got married in 2000 and looking for our own place. The obvious path will be to look around the area that I have been lived in. However after searching for awhile we realised that with our budget of about , we could only afford a run-down house that we need to renovate extensively. We were looking further and further towards East and South East area, until we reach Rowville and felt that it becomes ridiculously too far, not to mention the peak-hour traffic report that you usually hear from the radio on the M1. We finally settle in Point Cook, west of Melbourne. It is about 20min from the city via Westgate Freeway with plenty of new estates being opened, affordable price, close to the sea and infrastructure that aimed for young families. Just try and have a look yourself if you are interested to find out. I am enclosing 2 websites that lists available property around Melbourne. The 3rd website is one of the main real estate in Point Cook area, if you are interested to see around the area. The last link is the article from The Age, one of the main newspaper in Melbourne in regards to criminal rate around Melbourne. In regards to primary schools there are 3 choices: Public/Government, Christian/Catholic and Private. Public schools have pretty much the same standard wherever you go and they are the cheapest alternative. You usually just enrolled to the one closer to where you live. The list of government schools are here: http://www.eduweb.vic.gov.au/schoolsonli... Private are the most expensive, since on top of the tuition fee, you will still have to buy books, uniform, etc. The list for non-government schools are here: http://www.isd.com.au/ Good luck and hope this help & welcome to Melbourne.

Other Travel Tips Hampton Park, Dandenong, Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Clayton, Westall, St Albans, Sunshine, Toorak. Hope that helps! It depends on your price range. but the east side is nicer because of the trees & hills but it can be pricey. the west side is cheaper but there are some good suburbs in the west like sunbury, glenroy, oak park, pascoe vale, ascot vale. If i had the money i would choose the eastern suburbs of melbourne! |
