I love Southbank/South Melbourne area. Almost walking distance from most offices.
Carlton/ Brunswick are also pretty chill

like

Burnley.

Nestled between Richmond, South Yarra, Toorak and Hawthorn- so easy access to all each has to offer via foot, train, tram or short car ride.

On the Yarra if you like running / riding into the CBD (~4kms).

On the M1 for access to the South East or CBD in rapid time via car / Uber (<$20).

And Burnley Train Station has 4 train lines passing through so no wait times for trains to/from CBD esp during peak hour.

Lived in Port Melbourne and loved it close to the city and beach

like

Given your age, Richmond, Cremorne, South Yarra or Prahran in the south-east, Fitzroy or Collingwood in the inner north, or Yarraville in the west. Lots of other opportunities further out of course, but these are generally considered ‘nice’ and happening suburbs close to the CBD but not too close

Westside is bad. People have been saying it will gentrify for the last 20 years.

like

Thornbury. Train, tram and bus access to city. Can also drive in. Nice cafes and nightlife activities. Prices still reasonable.

Carlton / Carlton North are lovely
