I agree, dollar for dollar you can probably buy an equivalent property in the inner west as you would in the outer eastern suburbs. We had a similar budget to the original poster and decided to buy in the inner west rather than going east. Yes, the outer eastern suburbs are far prettier...

All very well but the orginal poster has a budget of 450k. What kind of property can get for 450k in Williamstown or Maribyrnong? I suggest that you won't find much in those areas for that budget. Recommendations are fine but many people are constrained by budget and are looking for...

Mate, I'd prefer not to reveal the price we paid. I can assure a budget of 400-450 means you buy most homes in Albion (there are only a few that go for over 500k at the moment). For examples.. http://www.domain.com.au/Property/For-Sale/House/VIC/Albion/?adid=2009767021...

Hi there, My PPOR is in Albion. We moved there in 2011. We were attracted to the area because of the price, access to public transport and because most amenities are in walking distance. I don't drive so being close to everything is important to me. The properties are mostly...

I live in Albion which is close to Sunshine North. While I agree, local public transport will never be great at this new estate you are still only a quick drive from Albion or Sunshine station. Albion's carpark has been upgraded and there seems to be left over capacity even at the busiest...

Actually the name Sunshine is not a misnomer. The suburb of Sunhine is named after the Sunshine Harverster Works which in it's time was the largest factory in Australia and produced cutting edge farming tools. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunshine_Harvester_Works

I live in Albion (a small suburb surrounded by Sunshine). The best areas there are Sydney Rd (near to the station), houses near to Selwyn Park and houses near the Albion train station. The best area of Sunshine is the Mathew Hills area but that is probably outside your 400k budget. My...

As far as I know, there aren't a lot of amenities in Sunshine west. If I was interested in the wester suburbs and was buying now I'd look at West Footscray, Sushine or Albion (in that order). Prices have come back at lot in the area since 2010 so you should find some good bargains with...

My partner and I bought our first home in Albion last year. This information is directed towards owner occupiers rather than investors. Renovated homes on big blocks in Albion have been selling for between 400 - 450k. The bargains in the area are gone unless you are prepared to renovate...

Hi guys, I have recently bought a 1930's weatherboard home in Melbourne. We are finding the house noisy at night due to a freeway about 500 yards away. The sound is not very distinct, rather like the sound of ducted heating (i.e a low constant woosh type sound). I find the sound...
