Just goes to show how chilled out it is north of MV.
We moved here from Queenscliff (which is also a great suburb) to reduce our rent.
We went from a 2 bed unit to a 2 bed house and saved $50pw.
The added commute time was 30 minutes more to cbd.
I should come clean and say I don't commute to the cbd, but I would do if I needed to. Friends who do tell me it's only 1h15m.

We found it cheaper, renting, than any of other NB suburbs we had considered.
It's quieter, friendly with a village atmosphere. We hope it'll be ideal for bringing up kids.

If you know the roads and the best "rat runs" it's not so bad.

Only problem I can see with looking for somewhere to rent somewhere further away from the CBD is the lack of rental housing stock.
Oh, and if you move over to a western suburb, it will be a longer journey to the beach - and often the beaches haven't got the most accessible roads to reach them by or great public transport (eg Bondi, Balmoral etc)
