I have formulated a list and am asking if there are any obvious no-no's in there? I know one mans meat is another mans poison but we live in anice area now and want to carry that on. I have no idea what is a nice area to live and what isn't in the Perth area. If you don't want to post then please PM me.

Wow John ... Thats Some List You Have Managed To Narrow Down Lol .... Its Kinda Hard To Say What Areas Are Good / Bad Unless People Actually Stay There .... We Are Heading To Thornlie [initially With Friends ] But Because They Have Been There Over 20 Yrs They Can Tell Us What Parts To Avoid Ie Forest Lakes And Crestwood Estate Are The Best Whereas Over The Other Side Of "spencer Road " Is Not Classed As Being So Good .... We Eventually Want To Move Down To Mandurah As It Has More Of A Townie Feel Whereasmost Of The The Other Areas Are Suburbs And Only Provide You With The Basics Ie School Shoppin Mall Etc ... If You Are Looking For Fun I Think You Might Strugle In Some Of These Areas ... Imo ... Lol

I hope I don't offend anyone here, but I'd cross Armadale off your list. I work there, and whilst there are Surrounding areas of Seville Grove, Southern River (a lot of new house builds in southern river) which are nice, I wouldn't live in Armadale itself (although it has great facilities). if you've just been looking at house prices to compile your list - you need think about why some areas are alot cheaper than others.

John, I have been going through a similar process, but crossed off anywhere that might be under the flight path of the airport, close to the main freeways or near a large industrial estate. Property is cheaper near these for a reason, it's noisier! On the flip side, property near a golf course is normally more expensive, but if you're not a golfer then again it's probably not worth looking at the area. Personally, I'm very much a beach person and I love to sail, so my decisions were based around being within a reasonable driving distance of the beach and close to a sailing club. Maybe thinking about the lifestyle you'll lead will help you narrow down where you want to live. Life can't all be about work!
Maybe posters who have suggestions could also tell us why...
Ali, why not Armadale?
Melly, why not Mirabooka or Balga?

Armadale has a lot of low cost housing. Unlike UK these are not like council estates but within the suburbs. I'm a community nurse in this area and to use an english saying ... some of it looks a bit rough. However, it has great facilities and the surrounding suburbs are nice (my patch is also mt Nasura and Mt Richon)

I'd also cross off Mirabooka and Balga !
What's your budget ?
Where will work be ?
What do you need nearby ?
I suppose we are going to be looking to spend around $450'000. My wife is a nurse so we need to be within commutable distance of a hpspital. We need it quite lively. We are a very young 40 who are enjoying life as our kids are off our hands...Live bands, beach etc.
