Melbourne people, I need your help!

Sorry folks, but every recommendation here is Lame City. Again, I ask what kind of lifestyle you're looking for, because this might be what you want? Do you have a family/dog, want a yard, or do you wanna live somewhere with lifestyle??

Examples:

* If you like something a bit grundgy like Newtown, then you want Fitzroy [North], Northcote and surrounds (Inner North)
* If you want something a bit more Bohemian, beachside, outdoor cafes and bars, go with the area they call Bayside, which is St. Kilda, Elwood, Albert Park (Inner South)
* You want shopping & pretty people, go South Yarra, Prahran or Richmond.

Good points Jd...

- If you want fully sick mate eastern Mediterranean go Dandenong and it's immediate surrounds.

- If you enjoy low class, feral, Caucasian boganista go Frankston North or Central.

- If you prefer the company of bottom of the barrel junkies and late night prostitution then certain parts of St. Kilda are ideal.

- Open homsexuality your thing? Get as close to Commercial Rd, Prahran as possible.


Hope this helps!

The more important thing than lifestyle is price and preference to buy/rent. All of Jaydisc's suggestions are expensive, many of Digger's suggestions are cheap (both because of the reasons they mention).

I prefer living in a unit, close to regional shopping centres, transport, cafes with a diverse ethnic base.

Basically somewhere I can make it from work to home without getting shot, stabbed, mugged or panhandlers asking me for change every block on the way home. Rent would have to $800 fortnight tops.

Thanks for your input DD and Jaydisc

Ha ha. You'll leave all that behind in Sydney , especially with a budget of $800 per fortnight, aka $400 per week. I pay $410 for a 3 bedroom house one suburb further from Northcote. If it's just you, and you want a flat with less bedrooms, you can live nearly anywhere. So, pick a lifestyle
