Tree lined streets, pretty houses, Art Deco apartments. Only 11 mins by train into City.
Very safe and many affluent multi million dollar homes. The surrounding suburbs of Malvern and Toorak are just as beautiful (and expensive) it’s a stunning suburb.

Lovely, laid back suburb. Very safe. Mix of families and young couples/singles due to increasing apartment presence. Beautiful beach walks and an easy 20 mins into the city by train. Great area if you love health and fitness. Only downer is all the ugly apartments around 200ish bay road but it’s still safe just ugly looking with lots of small apartments built for profit. Other areas are fine. If you live in Sandy you are very lucky indeed. No hesitation in recommending it but it is quite $$$ if you can afford to buy here you will love it.

It doesn’t have personality or charm. Lots of new apartments and rather concrete jungle, but in saying this it’s much cheaper to buy or rent here than more established suburbs with trees and character homes.
Only 7 mins by tram into the CBD and a fantastic base for anyone working or studying in the city.
Not so great for lifestyle if you like the outdoors.
Have a look at google maps and see mount alexander road Travancore. Lots of traffic/roads/apartments.
Not my cup of tea but perfectly suitable to CBD interests and for the cheap rent/buy.
