&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Best for:&lt;/strong&gt; Families who want a large, modern home with a proper backyard and don’t mind driving.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skip if:&lt;/strong&gt; You need trains, love a walkable cafe strip, or demand a fast CBD commute.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rent Pressure:&lt;/strong&gt; High. Demand for 4-bedroom homes is fierce and inspections are competitive. What most guides miss: 3-bedders linger longer, but 4-bedders go first at a premium.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Commute Reality:&lt;/strong&gt; A patience test on Mickleham and Somerton Roads plus a station run to Roxburgh Park or Broadmeadows. Leave at 6am to shave time; after 5pm the return crawl is real. Here&amp;rsquo;s the kicker: door-to-door in peak is typically 60–90 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
