Suburb help!!

Hi everyone, 

Moving from UK to Melbourne next summer. Just trying to get to know some areas, I am a paediatric nurse and it is likely I'll try and find work in Monash Children's Hospital. Can anyone recommend any nice areas for a young family approx no more than 45 mins away. Somewhere with good schools & affordable

Thanks in advance!

45 minutes gives you a pretty wide search area....you might need to iron out some more specifics - close to beach? shops etc, access to the city??

You can plug figures in here and get an idea (although i take some of the commute times to the closer to the city with a pinch of salt) - i've based it on 30 mins at 7:20am.

its a pretty wide area - what else is important, budget can be a limiting factor as well.

you can search on realestate.com.au and look at the map based on budget to give you pointers as well...

Are you talking about Monash Hospital in Clayton as opposed to Berwick? if so I'd look at Mount Waverley. There's a nice shopping centre close to the railway line and Mount Waverley Secondary College is sought after.
