Yes, don't be too hard on Footscray. It does have problems, but one or two trendy bars/cafes have started to open. And yes, remember St. Kilda. In fact, there are still drugs and boarding houses in St. Kilda. They coexist with the yuppies.
Footscray has period housing a couple of kms from the CBD for entry level of about $200,000. If it doesn't gentrify, then it will be about the only suburb with those characteristics in the whole of Australia that hasn't!
Read in this morning's paper that Sunshine is tipped to boom. Frankly, I'd rather buy in Footscray. Sunshine is far crappier in my view, further out and not a hell of a lot cheaper anyway. Well, that's just my two cents worth.
