Sounds like that ol' playground song, "The West is the best, chuck out the rest!"

Re: Best and Worst Suburbs of Melbourne

Oh the worst suburbs are a can of worms so I'll leave that alone. So subjective anyway -- for example, some people may hate some suburbs for being dirty but the ones I actually hate are all these soulless, perfect new 'developments'.. no names!

Re: Best and Worst Suburbs of Melbourne

Depends on what sort of lifestyle you are looking for. Melbourne has so much to offer in each of its suburbs:

1. Family suburbs -
2. Inner city living
3. Apartment Living
4. Young, single, want close to entertainment and fun
5. Rural feel

and more.

Personally, I don't like living too far from the CBD, I want close proximity to public transport, access to major roads to get somewhere relatively quick, safe, access to decent local cafes, restaruants and not too many bogans around and I prefer an area with character, old Victorian homes and not too many flats.

5. Rural feel

I initially read that as "Rural feral". Definitely can get that too!

Based on what do you classify Footscray as best? I would much prefer Williamstown, Spotswood, Seddon, Newport or Yarraville.

Re: Best and Worst Suburbs of Melbourne

Ok, I'll call it.

Worst - Docklands.

Soulless, windy in winter, pay for parking, concrete jungle, terrible for running tracks.

Best - Most of the Inner North West.

Ok then.

Best = where I live.

Worst = where you live.

Based on its the former name of my football club. Suburbs you've name all come under western bulldogs area.
