Guest HBEE Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 What area in Adelaide were you thinking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nicnak Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I'd like some advice on that too - my son is 15 and is in Year 10 here. We are looking at the Glenelg, Unley or Norwood areas. Are they good places to live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HBEE Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Yes they are some of the best areas to live in Adelaide. Unley is an old area close to the city (2kms south), with lots of big old genlemen style houses on quite large blocks of land. This is quite expensive to buy around $700,000 +. Norwood is also close to the city (east) (and expensive) with lots of old cottage style housing and units. Norwood Parade is the main shopping street with lots of trendy cafes. Glenelg is about 8 kms west of the city and it is a beachside suburb. The closer to the beach, the more expensive the housing. There has been a number of high rise apartments built near the beach in the last ten years. The main street, Jetty Road is very popular on weekends(even more when the weather is hot), with lots of outdoor cafes. The beach and jetty are also drawcards. As far as schools go, one of the best academic state schools is Marryatville High, which is on Kensington Road. It is in a good area surrounded by private schools. Maybe this is why it is better than other state schools. In the Glenelg area, Brighton High has a pretty good reputation, especially for music. Unley High School has an OK reputation. In these three areas, there are a number of very good private schools, ranging in price. If you want to know more about these, let me know.
