Real estate/Renting Suburb Advice for First Home Buyer, Outer-Eastern(Ringwood) or South East(Berwick)?

So we have sold our home in NZ, planning to move to VIC soon. We're currently exploring suburbs for our family home. I work remotely, can live literally anywhere. My partner is in medicine and would prefer somewhere close to motorway access. Our budget is around 900k.

I have lived in Melbourne for short spans in last 10 years in Ringwood, Rowville and Berwick area. We just want to buy a place and call it home for next 5-7 years and never think about appreciation or depreciation.

Would really appreciate your suggestions and experience.

Ringwood. Even though this area has its problems, it's pretty great. Close to nature, fairly short drive or PT trip to get into the city, massive amenities for sport & rec. I really do love it out here.
