It&rsquo;s seen as an &lsquo;affordable&rsquo; entry point, which means competition for decent family rentals is fierce. Expect to pay a premium for anything updated.</p> <p><strong>Commute reality</strong> Brutal if you&rsquo;re driving peak hour on the Monash. The train from Lynbrook station on the Cranbourne/Pakenham line is your best bet, but it&rsquo;s a long haul. Budget 60-75 minutes door-to-door to the city.</p>
