Have decided to rent for at least 6 months when we get to Melbourne so we can first get a feel for the area and where we might eventually want to buy. Will be looking at a 2 or 3 bedroom villa/unit/house/town house in the Malvern East/Glen Iris area. Just wondering what is considered reasonable rent for these areas. Don't want to spend too much.

Reasonable Rent - isn't that an oxymoron?

Not sure this is exactly what you are after but i am paying $330 per week for a 4 bed detatched high set (house rather than bungalow) on a gated development with use of the communal swimming pool.

This is in Brisbane though, hence it may not be exactly what you want!

Commuting would get expensive.

That is bloody good - I have just started looking for a place in Brissie for 1 and I am looking at 250-200 for a 1-2-3 bed place. Where about in Brissie are you if you don't mind me asking and sorry for hijacking the post.

A place called North Lakes, about 30K's north of Brisbane, about 5 minutes from a place called Redcliffe.

To be honest it was the best place i saw and the cheapest !! The others i had looked at ranged from 380-450 !

Dont pay more than 400 per week
