Vacancy sits near 1.5%, so good places move quickly. Expect about $1,250 for a 1‑bed; see current data on <a href="https://www.domain.com.au/rent/">Domain</a>. What most guides miss: new estates and older homes price differently street to street. Bottom line: cheaper than inner Melbourne, but be application‑ready.</p>
