What's the best side of Melbourne for ease of access to the CBD but also has plenty of scenery / beach life and quieter access to the city plus a range of great schools? :thumbsup: |

Hi Si 1. You may get more responses and opinions from people who've been here longer than us if you re-post this in the main forum. My two cents worth is that CBD access is probably easier on the eastern side, at least via public transport. Scenery wise both sides have their attractions for me, but it's personal choice at the end of the day. West is flatter until you get to the You Yangs but it's closer to the amazing Great ocean Road. On the other hand the eastern side has been settled longer, has more stuff and is pretty good looking all the way down the peninsula. West tends to be cheaper than east for the same sort of distance to the CBD. I could make a case for either basically. Can't help with schools as we don't have ankle biters, but plenty of others will be able to offer advice. Welcome to the forums. :thumbsup: |
