Jasper Buchanan Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Our family are moving to Oz on a 457 visa through a company based in Southport. I will be arriving first and will be looking for a 1 bedroom apartment for 2-3 months. My family will then join me and we will be looking to rent a nice furnished 4-5 bedroom house. Any suggestions of areas in and around Southport? Any websites to look at not including real estate. Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 There are lots of nice suburbs depending on your budget and what you guys personally like. Some of the popular within an easy commuting distance would be Runaway Bay, Oxenford, pacific Pines, Coomera Waters. The best thing to do would be to drive and drive when you get here and see what area takes your fancy.. Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper Buchanan Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Many Thanks for that. We stayed in Runaway bay whilst on holiday and liked that area. Also heard good things about Pacific Pines. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
