I have lived in Maribyrnong for 13 years and still loving it. Edgewater is better location than right next to highpoint imho. 1 tram (82) and 2 bus (406 and 409) choices that takes 10 minutes to Footscray station and from Footscray its only 3 (2 if express) stops to southern cross or city loop...

If I were to live in this area with max $500k to spend, I will personally pick Avondale Heights. Quite a nice area and the primary school is pretty good. Public transport is not that good though depending on where you need to travel to for work.

Not a fan of OTP. For that kind of money in Maidstone I'll rather look at something like this. http://m.realestate.com.au/property-townhouse-vic-maidstone-115480215 Or go to adjoining maribyrnong for something like this with a very short walk to highpoint and two tram lines...

I have been using Run Property Esendon for a few years and am quite happy with them.

I have a few of these MS Certs as my current employer encourages us to get certified. I find in-house IT and gov departments don't care about these certifications. However, some Microsoft aligned software product companies and IT consulting companies do value these. Having enough employees with...
