Rentals in Melbourne
 

Hi there, my son & his girl are moving to Melbourne for a while. Could someone please tell me which areas are best avoided for a rental? He has no where in mind to base himself.... basically is just going to land! But me.... as mother... would like some ideas :)

Boopy, I think you will have to be a bit more specific with their requirements.
My personal taste for a young couple would be to look at the inner suburbs as a better option than the outer suburbs and unless work takes them to the west, to be more wary of the suburbs from Footscray out through Sunshine to Deer park.
I would happily recommend any Inner suburb from St Kilda round through Richmond to North Melbourne for a couple in their 20's. Each suburb has its own feel and appeal.

Thank you so much for that, I will look at those areas & let them know. They are both in their 20's :) Neither has work to start, they will look once there :frown:

Hi Boopy,

Totally agree with the areas suggested above. We are in our mid twenties and love living in St. Kilda. I don't think we will move but if we did then I would look at Richmond, South Yarra, Prahran or maybe north of the city - Carlton or Fitzroy!

Hope it helps!
