Vic Best and worst areas of Melbourne?

[grizzlym]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - those areas are pretty much the worst areas in Melbourne..

I lived in Canterbury for years and absolutely despised it. So waspy. So boring. So damn lacking in everything except golden retrievers, Laura Ashley linen, and women wearing tennis visors while they have coffee in the worst shopping centre in Melbourne. It's so sanitised that it's like living in a mosquito zapper.

Sure it's got leafy streets, Edwardian homes and 'nice' people but I'd honestly have to say out of all the areas I've lived in Melbourne, that was the worst.

I see what your saying. Those areas in the inner east kind of give me that vibe. I haven't lived there before but when going to the city passed through those suburbs a few times.

Agreed. I prefer living next to refugees and having people get shot three streets away.

At least its a community.

Based on what I value about where I live, it was/is for me. I certainly don't want my kids growing up there (and they don't).

I live in Vermont South (Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne) which is a very nice suburb. The suburbs surrounding me are Vermont, Forest Hill, Glen Waverley and Wantirna.

Current murder capital of Melb

Completely agree with you. My exes parents live there so have spent a lot of time there. Lovely family but I do not like the area at all. Ivanhoe isn't as bad but I find that too waspy and boring. Aesthetically beautiful but doesn't have anything remotely interesting.

I live in Black Rock which is sandwiched between Sandringham, Beaumaris and Cheltenham. Lovely spot, it's quiet, has nice shops, on the beach, doesn't have a train station which is definitely a good thing. I'd say in the top 4-5 suburbs in Melbourne as well. Love it there.

Vermont South is a crime riddled shithole.

 

[LouisCK]

Vermont South is worse than Detroit.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

I no longer drive through Vermont South for fear of snipers and muggers.

For what it's worth I'd prefer a safe boring and picturesque suburb for my kids than interesting and outright dangerous.

THere is a middle ground of course.

Obviously after what happened Vermont South is going to get bagged but overall it is a good suburb. According to Wikipedia it is known as the Brighton of the Eastern Suburbs.

People in Vermont South are moving to Noble Park and Doveton.

If thats the case there not moving to anywhere better. That kind of stuff will more likely happen there.

I feel safer living next to Ringwood Station then i do in Vermont South

Vermont South makes south central Los Angeles look like Neverland.

Whats so bad about Vermont South? Honestly i've never heard of trouble there?

I agree Vermont South has hardly had any trouble. This story from yesterday in the first major one in the area.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Vermont South is the Victorian equivalent of the Congolese jungle.

Rodney King would rather party in Compton than risk driving through Vermont South

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Chuck Norris was going to walk through Vermont South, but thought better of it.

 

[MaddAdam]

I'm surprised you guys even have the guts to bag VS online. The murda kids that rep those endz have been known to hunt down people who slag their hood online.

 

[Athomas]

Been overseas so will have to look up what happened in Vermont South? I play soccer there weekly, our team's never been in a fight so musn't be too bad!

Brett Kirk won't go to Vermont South.
