Elsternwick
What is Elsternwick like?
We looked at 2 rentals in Malvern today $680 and $700 per week. A friend has bought a house in Elsternwick and claims it a good area to rent in. How does this area compare? Is it also nice and leafy?
Our house requirements are slightly higher because we have to accomodate my wifes parents and I work from home alot so need a proper office (not a boxy study room).

We live in Elsternwick, and really love it.
Residential roads are very leafy and pleasant.
The main shopping area is along Glen Huntly Road...where you will find everything you need - wide range of shops/library etc........including lots of great cafes. Really buzzy road.
There are buses and trams running along GH Rd through St Kilda and onto the CBD.
Rentals are not very cheap...but a damn sight cheaper than Elwood and StK - get more for your money.
If you want to know any more...then give me a shout.

Re: Elsternwick
We're renting just down the road in Elwood and think Elsternwick is great for shopping and travelling into the city.
If you can find a house you like in the area and for a rent you can cope with, I would say go for it.
