For expatriates and business travellers looking to stay for a longer period of time, the CBD is becoming increasingly popular as a residential area, whilst the inner suburbs contain some of Melbourne's oldest housing, as well as some of Melbourne's newest developments. The bayside suburbs are renowned for their restaurants, bars and nightlife and the inner eastern suburbs are more exclusive and are very attractive areas for families. Further out of the city property becomes less expensive, and with larger blocks of land, are also very attractive options for families.
