Default What Suburb would you want to live in ?

If money was no object and lets say you won Tattslotto, what suburb would you select to reside in ?
In Melbourne for instance there are many great suburbs to choose from and i would say that it would be a real hard decision to make as for example any of the beachside suburbs that range from Williamstown,Port Melbourne all the way down to Portsea would be prime choice,as for the inner ones like Toorak,SthYarra,Hawthorn,Camberwell,MontAlbert,Can terbury,Doncaster,Templestowe,Donvale,even some parts of Ringwood,Park Orchard,Wonga Park,Glen Waverley Mt Waverley Wheelers Hill then you could go up to the northern ones like Essendon,Moonee Ponds and over Keilor way.
My top three choice would be,
1.Toorak
2.Brighton
3.Hawthorn
If you live Interstate give us some of your example
Cheers John

I wouldn't be going far, probably just to Templestowe, Park Orchards or Wonga Park.

If money was no object it wouldn't be any suburb. I can name lots of suburbs I dont want to live in and few that I do.

I'd like 2acres on the South Coast, a 10 Car Garage with 2 and 4 post hoist. With an en-suite with Broadband and cable TV. Sealed road.

And maybe a 1 bedroom city bed-sit with secure lock up parking for overnight stays.

Thats not too much to ask is it?

On the Central Coast I'd like to live in:
Terrigal (close to the beach)
Matcham (acerage)
Gosford (just a small unit looking over the city)

But then again, I think that I'd move off the coast and into the country if I won lotto. Becoming too crowded for me.

There is a part of Templestowe (I live on the border of Templestowe and Warrandyte) the Real estate agents call "sunset strip" Basically its a few streets where all the houses are over $1m and look like castles, they';re usually always for sale because people buy them and can't afford to pay them off! But theyre usually featuring manicured gardens, pools, spas, saunas, gyms, etc etc. I wouldn't mind having a place in there.

Other than that i'd be happy living in....
>North Balwyn
>Kew
>Canterbury
>Carlton
>Brighton
or

Mt Barker, SA. Where our block is and where our house is starting to be built soon. And where our black F6 and red T3 will be parked, when we get them!

St Kilda or Kings Cross. What are some red light zones in SA?

Naw seriously, I'd hate to live in any of those rich snob suburbs. I've been bagging out the ****ers who live there all my life. I'm happy where I am, as long as I get a 4 car garage I really don't give a toss.

If money was no object, I'd love to be on an Island up North somewhere, where there is the beach nearby and the hinterland behind the home.

Narrawallee, NSW South Coast.

Near Mollymook and Ulladulla. Used to holiday there as a kid, and once I get the money, I'm buying a place down there. Plans are afoot.
