Hello all. I currently reside in Canberra with my family (wife, son) and we have the pleasure of moving to Melbourne at the end of this year. My dilemma is that I have only ever briefly visited Melbourne twice in my life and don't know where to start looking for a PPOR. My circumstance is:
Work: both in the vicinity of Melb CBD
Family: need access to good primary school (with afterhours care)
Property: Budget up to 520k but prefer around 450k & want 3bd with car accom, preferably free standing house
Loc: needs to be a reasonable commute to CBD everyday probably using public transport
I know this may sound a tad vague, but all I know about Melb is that Toorak is expensive....too expensive. But, I would appreciate any advice on what areas are seen to be good to actually live in and that aren't an hour away from work.
All advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Pete
