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. 🤷♀️
Welcome to Thornbury! That is, if you decide to come here. I like this suburb a lot and live here. Great public transport, good food shopping/dining options, entertainment options, health care providers, and Merri Creek is pretty much a linear park from the city out to the outer suburbs. Good bike options too. But I am biased.
Thankyou! From what I’m seeing online, Thornbury is definitely pulling ahead for me, and rental prices seem pretty reasonable (especially in comparison to here in Sydney lol)
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.
Your end is nice. My end is fucking awful lol
Why avoid the west?
And thanks! I’ll continue to look around Coburg. Any opinions on Thornbury?

Ah thanks for the heads up on that!
