evets Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) How much will you earning? The real cost of cost of living is probably higher than you would expect, but can be reduced with shopping at Aldi,etc. And also how far you are prepared to live from the CBD.

calNgary Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 If you want to look at property costs in varying suburbs take a look at Domain or https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/in-melbourne,+vic+3000/list-1 both are good sites for rental and purchase prices.

Beffers Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 On 14/12/2017 at 10:20, Trudyandandrew said: What is the real cost of living near Melbourne Depends on where you live and where you work. Realestate.com.au is a good one to look up prices. Buying and running a car here is cheaper. Food prices are variable depending on where you shop, but the quality of food here is very good. Health insurance can be pricey but you can shop around for that. Public transport I've found cheap compared to London, $41/week for an All Melbourne weekly travel card. Check the PTV website for train and tram lines etc, and check commuting distances etc. Melbourne traffic is mental! Living near your work is a sensible option. Also lots of people would say that it depends on how far you're prepared to live from the CBD, but if you don't work in the CBD then that doesn't become an issue.
