Can anyone please tell me why is Moe ranked 1st best suburb in Gippsland ?

Probably because it offers the greatest amount of opportunity.
Affordable housing prices, ability to start your own business or seek employment.
Close proximity to Melbourne's eastern work corridors.

Hi Ed,
See my reply to Rach here:

Also a good reply from Karlos here:

I'm thinking that all of the reviews are by real estate agents? I've had family live there and visited them and seriously, the score has shot my confidence in this website entirely.

Just moved here from Melb, checked out Traralgon and Morewell but LOVED the feeling and setup of Moe.
