Hi there, I have heard of preston but where is craysfeet? There are public schools that are sort of free but there are some charges.

I am so sorry, it is actually, Footscray, i hope this helps you more, by Kensington, i believe. If you could, it would also be useful to know an idea of rental for a 3 or 4 bed house in these areas. Thanks

Hi there,
You can check rental prices here: [url="http://www.realeastate.com.au"]http://www.realeastate.com.au[/url] You can check out the local schools here: [url="http://www.eduweb.vic.gov.au/schoolsonline/"]http://www.eduweb.vic.gov.au/schoolsonline/[/url] You will probably find rents are fairly expensive, pretty much everywhere in Melbourne because there is currently a shortage of housing in Melbourne. Vacancy rates for rental accommodation are very low (ie there are not many places to choose from). Hope that helps, let us know if you have more questions. cheers, Glen

Thanks Glen, This is all really helpful. Have also been looking at Airport west and Essendon as these seem to be in our price range, but i have a few questions. Firstly, i could not locate any schools in Essendon and also can you give me your opinion on these places as am slightly worried because the rent is fairly low compared to other suberbs

Have a look at the area on Google Maps. If you are near an airport (which is true for both of these suburbs) rent will usually be cheaper! If you really like the sound of planes you may well have hit the jackpot! Depends on your tolerance of noise. <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
![]() Also, get a copy of the Melways Melbourne Map. Cheap properties are often under Electricity Transmission lines and this is regarded as being bad for your health! The Melways shows you where there electricity lines are located.

After hours and hours of research on suberbs and where to settle, i have now narrowed it down to either Williamstown, Elwood, St Kilda or middle Park. Any opinions on these areas would be much appreciated aswell as the distance from these areas to Footscray.
26-08-2008, 01:20 PM
Williamstown - should be nice
Elwood - think it is pretty good St Kilda - trendy, bit busy, but popular, expensive Middle Park - don't know about this one. should be fine i guess. never heard anything bad. As for travelling to Footscray, were you planing on driving or using public transport?
02-09-2008, 01:35 PM
williamstown is a nice little suburb, as is elwood - both near the sea. st. kilda is a bit pricey but a nice suburb nonetheless, middle park is also pretty expensive.
06-10-2008, 03:03 PM
I would definately recommend Williamstown, although I prefer the suburbs in the South East, Berwick, Mornington, Lynbrook, Lyndhurst, Sandhurst, Narre Warren North, Beaconsfield
