Things to do nearby
Melbourne draws remote workers for its café and coworking culture, live music and arts scene, and status as a major English-speaking hub, offset by Australia's high cost of living and visa constraints.
Fitzroy — bohemian, cafes, arts, popular with creatives
CBD — central transit hub, apartments, walkable grid
St Kilda — beachside, laid-back, cafes and nightlife
Collingwood/Richmond — trendy, close to CBD, good value
Getting around
Excellent tram network plus trains and buses; walkable within inner neighborhoods; no direct airport train yet (under construction), so SkyBus to the CBD takes 25-30 minutes.
