"Affordable" housing in the Melbourne (Melton) area?

Question

I'm moving in with friends in Melton before the end of the year and eventually will be bringing my family down. I'd like to find a rental with three bedrooms but would like to keep it as reasonable as possible. Any suggestions as to which areas to look in? Safety for my kids is as important as cost.

Answer 1

Melton south is roughly 20,000 grand cheaper than melton, thats where i live, its a good area, ive been living here since i was 11 and ive never had any hassles

Answer 2

If you want to look a little closer to the city, have a look at Newport, Yarraville, Altona.
