Accommodation in Melbourne
Property prices in Melbourne compare favourably to other Australian cities such as Sydney and Perth, and expatriates have many options when it comes to location and accommodation.
Real estate agents are available to help expats navigate through the confusing network of choice for apartments, townhouses, or renovated Edwardian and Victorian properties, as well as the often confusing parameters of price and preference.
The explosion of new housing developments in the inner city and dockland areas has piqued the interest of expatriates looking for the buzz of urban living. These include the suburbs of South Melbourne, South Yarra, Carlton and Fitzroy, Port Melbourne and St Kilda. Property in these areas does tend to be heavier on the wallet though, and for most part, the ideal expat home is still a suburban dwelling on the outskirts of the city with at least three bedrooms and a sizeable garden.
Alternatively, Kensington and Yarraville, which have traditionally been ranked as the working class areas, are affordable and close to the city. On the opposite end of the spectrum are the exclusive residential areas of Brighton, Hampton and Sandringham.
Prices can range from AUD 700 000 for property in the fashionable inner-eastern precincts of Melbourne, AUD 2,000,000 in Toorak, or AUD 300,000 in the inner western suburbs.
