Melbourne Rental Market 2025: Finding the Best-Value Suburbs
The blog takes a close look at Melbourne’s rental market in 2025, showing how the average rent in Melbourne changes across different suburbs. Inner-city areas like the CBD, Carlton, and Fitzroy tend to have higher rents, but you get the convenience of great transport, nearby shops, and lively neighborhoods. On the other hand, suburbs like Footscray, Werribee, and Frankston are more affordable and offer more space, though your commute might be a bit longer.
It also points out that the true cost of renting isn’t just the weekly rent — utilities, parking, and moving expenses all add up. This Connect Market's blog shares practical tips for renters, such as negotiating your lease, planning your move carefully, and keeping an eye out for hidden costs, so you can get the best value and live comfortably in Melbourne’s competitive rental market.
