"Not for a family"
The good thing about west melbourne is, so close to the city and easy access to transport, bu the price too high. The bad thing about it is, there is not really a cummunity, people don't greet each other and the safety is something I will question about, well I live here my self and saw a few weird stuff. But if you just wants to have a place to live, not socialise, this might be for you and docklands only walking distance which another great thing. But honestly, we definetely will move ou soon as our contract finish.

That's a bit strange Vogue. I've lived in West Melbourne for 1 year now. found it to be a little gem. Ive never felt unsafe.
Not quite city but close enough to have all of the city amenities including the vic Market within walking distance. Errol and it's surrounding streets have a great vibe and cafe/bar scene and is full of all sorts of characters who are only to happy to have a chat. I find it a suburb of all types of classes where the wealthy mix with the battlers.
We have several local dog parks where my partner and I have made friends with a number of locals and our favirote cafe for breakfast where the owners greets us by name and are super friendly. Also keep in the the redevelopment of the West Melbourne rail yards in the not to far off adding more life to the south side of the suburb - I won't be moving out anytime soon
I don't know where you lived or what your integration with the local comunity was but I have lived in West Melbourne for 3 years and have made many friends and love the sense of community. You know it's a two way street, you need to engae people so that they will engage you in return. What causes you to question the safety? What weird stuff?
