So we have starting house hunting! We are finding it very overwhelming and nerve-wracking and at times, depressing. We are first home buyers so we really feel like amateurs! We are currently living in the Caulfield area but unfortunately to buy around here is not within our budget so we are looking a little further away.

Can anyone tell me about Dingley Village, Keysborough, Aspendale Gardens or Patterson Lakes? Alternatively, what about beachside...Aspendale, Edithvale or Chelsea? What are selling points of these suburbs? I am so tied as to whether I want to live near the beach but have a smaller house, or have a larger and newer house and live more inland

We went to see the display homes at Waterways today and they were so lovely...BUT they have a "no cats" rule because of the wildlife! *cry*! We are cat lovers so this meant no deal

Anyway, any advice and information (pros and cons) on the aforementioned suburbs would be greatly appreciated
