Thanks everyone for the replies. I am hopeful. Realestate does show some big properties in these suburbs so we remain hopeful.

Hi All My husband and I have recently been granted our permanent residency visas and are planning on moving to Melbourne in January with our 3 and 1 year old. Our house in London is currently on the market and its all systems go. We are very nervous and excited. We are keen to hear from anyone who has made the move and any advice they can give us on where to live. We are keen to rent initially with the plan to buy at a later date. Ideally we would like to rent in a similar area to the one we may eventually buy in. Commute to work, schools, children's amenities and shops, cafes, parks/beach are important factors in choosing a suitable area. We would like large house and have a budget circa $550K. Has anyone any recommendations??? Alicia
