So glad to hear that. There are definitely some options out there still and hopefully you can nab something with a little courtyard or even shared space for the plants.
For sure, there's some with small balconies that might let me keep my best plants (curry leaf and chillies) so that'll be a real bonus if I can get that. At this point my first priority is a good kitchen, a quiet area with greenery, and plenty of natural light - a place I don't feel actively miserable in. The rest is a bonus.
Dunno where you are but last I was looking there were some good older-brick-but-solid little blocks out in the inner west and down round Newport/Yarraville. But I hear you. Natural light and a functional kitchen are the non negotiables for me too.
I'm in the east, it's not a cheap area for sure but there's enough old stock apts that it's doable. I want to stay in this general area short term as a short commute is non-negotiable for me right now - I value that more than having the plants tbh. Long term I certainly won't be staying on here, possibly not even in Melbourne at all tbh.
I know this is in poor taste but I'll take your chillies :)
