:( I think I'm out of touch as I bought here before things went really nuts. I was going to say Bentleigh East but I think even that has rocketed (which I don't understand, I don't like it there at all. Not that I'm saying you should live in a yucky place. But it is close to decent schools, which is probably why everyone else is there too). Is even Moorabbin crazy? When I was looking I looked at a lot of places in Moorabbin as it was quite reasonable then. Hampton east was too (not hampton itself, it's on the other side of south road). But it has no train station and I never liked the feel of it so I think there's a reason it's cheaper. You would know better than me how things are currently though :(
Yeah agree that edithvale wouldn't be a good choice for you. Not if being closer is your goal. It's lovely in other ways.
My place was 620k when I bought it. It's only two bedrooms, so too small for you, although it would be very easy to convert the dining room into a bedroom or (less easy) build up. I mean, the space is there to build up but that's a big undertaking. When I was thinking of selling it last year they quoted me 770k though so I think even this area has gone up.
It is really shitty. I think it's much harder when you're looking for a family home. I could get on the ladder because I could do crappy apartment then small house. My friends i mentioned have 3 year old twins so they're similar to you and they are finding all the places out of their budget. And they're looking in places like burwood that I didn't think were particularly posh. and both work full time.
