Purplesparkle Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hi all, We are finally making the move over to Oz!! We are heading for the Gold Coast at the end of the month. We have booked out holiday accommodation for three weeks until nearly the end of February. We are trying to look at various suburbs that may be suitable for us. Some we have looked at:- Helensvale Oxenford Coombabah Pacific Pines Runaway Bay As you can see we are planning to be more north as this is where my work is going to be. Can anyone living in these or the surrounding areas give us an idea of what they are like. I understand that it is all down to personal preference but we would like some honest feedback. We have looked on Homely.com.au for some reviews but have managed to confuse ourselves! We are a family of four so are looking for a three bed house minimum and will have a budget of around $500 a week for rent. School will also play a part in our choice of area - we have a 13 year old son and a 7 year old daughter - my son is very interested in sports and is considering civil engineering for a future career - we have seen that Pacific Pines High School could support both of these as they have specialist programs but obviously this would depend where we live as to whether he can attend there. Any advice and support would be gratefully received. Thanks PurpleSparkle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I don't think you would go wrong in any of those places. Nit picking, Pac Pines seems to get the worst rap from them all but even that is normally for trivial things. Have a good drive around them once you get here, contact a few real estate agents and see what rentals are available. Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
