Looks like Reservoir is affordable, easy to get to Brunswick and Coburg and to work.

Will go have a look the next couple of days at a few places. Really wanted Brunswick but if I don't get a pay rise that ain't happening.

I think the work stuff is affecting me. I feel really down and out but no real reason. I guess this is what toxic workplaces do.

Beware of Fawkner & Dallas. They look close but the agents are likely putting lipstick on the pig's butt hole.

I know about Dallas. But is fawkner really that bad? I already sleep with a kitchen knife under my mattress within easy reach.

The place I looked at there is the one that smelt of misery and had a garage dweller. How representative is this? ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

it's in the middle of nowhere, has many factories, a large cemetery and lots of run down housing. Doesn't seem like a community.

Unfortunately if i want to live in a house and not an apartment, that far from the city is what I can afford whilst saving my deposit.

I can't justify paying more than 2500 pcm for rent.

Ascot Vale and Flemington has cheap houses.

Reservoir is 10km from the city and close to inner north suburbs with the cool music venues! Plus if you're into gardening, lots of nonnas around who grow their own produce hahaha. Inner-ish west could be another place to look?

Sounds damn good to me!
