Hi,
Bayside is a lovely area....but real estate can be rather expensive (Mentone, Brighton, Aspendale, Edithvale). These have a beach side and an indland side as they straddle the Nepean Highway. Property on the beach side will be more expensive. If you go inland a bit, prices will be a bit cheaper (Cheltenham, Moorabbin, McKinnon, Ormond) - have a look on realestate.com.au
Here's the council website Bayside City Council If you click on 'New Residents' they will send you a New Residents Kit (when you arrive). Look in the community directory for loads of info on schools, playgroups, child care, youth groups and clubs etc. We live a bit further down the Peninsula so can't help with recommendations I'm afraid.
What I did when I was in the planning stage was buy a UBD from our local book store (you'll have to order it!), it's not only a street map but it has everything from schools, hospitals, post offices etc. This was my bible for a couple of years.
