spidernose Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hello! Thinking about moving to Victoria, deciding where to live is no mean feat, there's so many areas that its frazzling my brain! Criteria would be around $400 pw. Not a million miles from Melbourne or the beach and not too quiet (there's 3 of us age range from 27 to 47 so would want a bit of nightlife Can anyone help please.

rosiew Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Well where you live is going to depend on what you do and where you will work. If two of you are a couple then you only need 2 beds and you will be able to afford a two bed flat not too far out. If you are 3 people who need 3 beds then you will be a long way out and should be focusing perhaps around Frankston where there is a little nightlife, a beach and a train to town. Or a regional city such as Geelong. But really it will depend on what sort of work you will be doing and how centrally located you need to be. Do you have visas yet? The rental market is quite tight right now but expected to ease a bit as new apartment developments come on board in the next couple of years. To be completely frank if you can only afford $400 a week in rent between 3 adults you may struggle to have a great life in Melbourne.

A reasonable 3-bed house in Frankston can be had for 400pw. Also Carrum Downs (further from the beach) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidernose Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 I've heard that Frankston isn't a great place to live. Someone described it like Blackpool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzy--bee Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 There is a lot of Frankston. It has various areas such as Frankston North, Frankston South, Frankston Heights etc etc. Some parts are better than others. Frankston South is largely massive family houses on 2/3 acre blocks, some with clifftop sea views. Frankston North is not like that at all! So pick your bit of Frankston and you'll be OK.
