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.

Yeah. I didn't mind the test train run, and can put up with much nearby industrial, but looking around the adjacent few blocks, you would be on your own Re fruit trees & borrowing ladders

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.
