Liveable suburbs that don't cost the earth — affordability weighted alongside safety and transport, so the list isn't just the cheapest fringe. Refine it below.

Places you travel to

Work, school, family — whatever you'd actually make the trip for. Suburbs are ranked on straight-line distance to all of them, weighted by how often you go. Straight line, not drive time, so a river or a freeway between you and it will not show up here.
