Melbourne Property To Buy (Suburb Recommendation): 500K budget

I have following investment criteria:

500K
House/Townhouse
Preference towards smaller place in a nicer suburb and better location.
Investment

Domain has auction results: https://www.domain.com.au/auction-results/melbourne/

Can you suggest me some suburbs which i should look at to fit above criteria? I am from sydney and have no clue on where to start. Another thread suggested getting a buyers agent is an overkill for that price.
My friend suggested Point Cook couple of years back. It seems the prices are over 600K in that area now.

  • Thanks a everyone's feedback. I'll summarise and identify top 5 suburbs to track and match against domain auction results.

    St Albany does look good but it seems it is over 550k.

    Footscray is still feasible. But I didn't consider on East side.

    Is east preferred over West?

    • +1

      Here is a list of suburbs which show what area they are in.

      Footscray = West

      East much more expensive than West.

  • Is there any higher than normal crime issues with fooscray?

    I noticed its on the way to Sunshine.This could be a problem.
