Wantirna

Answer 2

Melbourne is a very well serviced city and covers a very wide area. Most suburbs are close to schools, shopping and transport so is it possible for you to narrow your questions a bit? Where you'll be working would be a good start. Will you have a car? What type of school - primary, secondary, public, private? Your budget?

Answer 3

Best places to live hmm i live in Carlton Nth but a house there is gonna set you back $650 pw or so but if your job is not in CBD there is houses from 250 in outer suburbs where you can still get large shopping Centres schools etc

Answer 4

We need more information. What's your budget? Are you looking to buy or rent? How many bedrooms do you need?

Answer 5

i personally think the best primary schools are in the inner northern suburbs (the schools of the carlton district) like clifton hill, north fitzroy, carlton. I came from there and it was really good, there were heaps of kids who moved away from private schools to my public primary school

this area is very safe, lots of kids, generally young proffessionals live here

northcote's also good, it's cheaper, a little lower in class but basically the same thing. There are heaps of parks and a creek nearby. only problem is this area lacks in good high schools, especially for boys. There are also no private schools in this area, to get to a private school you'll need to travel atleast 30mins (because of the bad peak hour traffic)

middle park, albert park and surrounds are also good. It's near the beach, lots of great schools; primary and secondary. this area is also full of young proffesionals and is more pricey than clifton hill etc. middle park is the place i would like to bring up my kids when i have them

both areas are very convinient; they have trams, trains and buses. all these places are a like less than 15mins from the city. Because they're so inner city you won't have problems with shopping, most shopping centres and the city are around 30mins away

I'm not exactly sure how much it'll cost to live in these areas but it's not unusual to find a house over a million in these areas
