I can also highly recommend Coburg as a place to live. It is within a decent commuting distance for DH to the airport. The housing is great value for money and the schools offer both public and private. I live in Brunswick, but the trend for this suburb is that once baby no.2 arrives people move to Coburg as it just offers more room.

Also Coburg is on a direct line to the city as well as airport so there is very little chance of being isolated. great community atmosphere too!

we are looking to buy there next year so rate it pretty high! LOL!

check out some websites like domain or realestate etc etc to see what's around..
