  I live in Brunswick on Syndey Road, have been here for 6 years. Avoid street level residences, aim for an apartment. This will keep you up off the street, as Melbourne (particulaly the inner suburbs) have a meth and homelessness issue. You’ll hear them yodel around at odd hours, and verbally cuss themselves out lol, but staying off street level means it’s just entertainment (dark humour sorry).

  Otherwise I love it here. Everything is walking distance, close enough to the CBD without it being a hassle, Sydney road street party is great fun, always something artsy or niche to attend, lots of gigs, trivia nights, foods, etc.

    Thanks for the advice! Will definitely keep that in mind about street level

  From your list I’m guessing you want affordable, decent PT, and close enough to Things to Do? Consider Niddrie. Nobody has ever heard of it

  Avoid the West.

  Coburg is great.

    Piffle! I’ve been West the entire time I’ve been in Melb. It’s streets and pocket areas not whole suburbs and regions that have issues.

    Why avoid the west?

    And thanks! I’ll continue to look around Coburg. Any opinions on Thornbury?

      Some of Footscray/braybrook/maidstone has drug & related issues. As does Coburg/brunswick. I wish I could have afforded Seddon, which is close enough to problem bits to lob a tennis ball at. 🤷‍♀️
