Affordable suburbs - perth

[antipope]

Hi all, after the release of the wa smp (finally) it looks like there are a lot of us who will be hearing from co's soon, which makes the move to oz, seem much much closer. I was just wondering which are the more affordable suburbs to rent and buy property in.

The last time I was over there I visited a few other areas but spent most of my holiday around the kelmscott / armadale area, where my brother and his family live, which seemed quite reasonable, housing wise. Whereabouts are other pio members thinking of settling down and it would also be interesting to know where you are moving from?

I have a few friends who have moved from my area, east yorkshire who have all settled in various parts of perth. This could be something to do with the similarities between the areas, both are located some distance from other major cities and are quite insular.

I grew up in Armadale, went to Kelmscott High school.

Moved to the UK (south) as a teenager and will head back soon.

Will be more out Freo way due to friends being out there, and I prefer the area.
