My girlfriend and I moved here 6 months ago. We want to move away. We paid $1.38m for a property but now have regrets. It's not really nice suburb and quite boring to be completely honest. Yes, lots of family here but it feels over crowded. There is little good food cafes restaurants and on the expensive side. Hate catching train to work at Bentleigh Station. Worst train line ever. God. My GF drives to work and it's horrible drive. I asked a few agent how much I can rent out my house and was told only $750 per week. My eyes popped out and heart sank. How the 'f' am I going to service my mortgage and rent another place at the same time. I have to negative gear about $850 bucks a month including agent fees and landlord insurance and other outgoings. I don't advice young families to move here. It is very inconvenient if you do. Also, if you must move here, don't pay more than 1.2m for a property. Is really not worth it. I can't even sell my property now and make money on it. If I sell now, I can only get $1.3m because new property already cost about $1.35+m. If you are buyer, of course you buy new one for $1.35m. Man I am so unlucky to buy in Bentleigh. Also, we inspected all schools here. They are only ok. Not very good schools. Now I have to buy another car because I hate catching train because station is being fixed and only buses available.
