Most Aussies live in the suburbs, not the city centre or immediate surrounds. Did you look in established residential inner suburbs with more character, more amenities and more trees? Most have low-rise flats, good public transport and a sense of community that you won't find in the city centre. Examples: Elwood, Glenhuntly, Murrumbeena, Hawthorn, Camberwell, Kew, Alphington etc.
Totally understand this! However for now we really want to be closer to the city as this point in our lives - just left suburbia in the UK so not quite wanting that atm. I can definitely see the benefits for the future though - thanks for the recommendations 🤩
@@Katielharwood most of those examples would fit into what we would classify as as “inner suburbs” which means progressive city type areas that just happen to be outside the city. Elwood in particular as it a beachside suburb right next to st kilda which is a massive tourist destination. Actual suburbia would be further out than these. Basically theyre suburbs families who would like to be as close to the city as possible but still maintain a sense of community live. Which makes them nicer for couples and singles too.
Indeed! Finding a job, apartment, and learning RUclips/video editing all at the same time means the video took a little backseat for a while, but I’m so happy to finally post it 🥰

Yes please show us the apartment you chose and did get. Can't wait to see it. Cheers 🤗👍
Now I wanna know about the Richmond drama😂
Let’s just say… questionable agents, lack of internet and a few other red flags! 🤣
The Albert park view one will have 4 days of the Grand Prix, may be a good or bad thing 😂
Haha yes I thought this! Would be great to have a watch party on that balcony!
6:04 Can see my disgust having the first sip of that coffee 😂
You were NOT a fan 🤣
My fave part of Melbourne to live is Southbank & south melbourne
Some of those are so expensive just for 1 bedroom.
Best of luck with your new life down under 😊
