emma1976 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Hi, we have just been invited to apply for visas for NT, so trying to research areas of where to live. We have 3 children aged 13, 11 & 4. Can anyone recommend any areas of Darwin that are nice to live, we need to be somewhere that has good access to schools, shops etc and has excellent public transport as my mum is also coming and doesn't drive. Thanks Emma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Emma Darwin is quite expensive and the good areas tend to reflect this. Public transport in Darwin is ok, but if your Mum could learn to drive it will be easier for her to get around. Did your Mum get her own sponsorship/visa as well? If so, you are very fortunate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucharmily Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hi Emma Darwin is a great place for families. Darwin city itself has lots of apartments; most of the the northern surburbs are nice...Leanyer, Wulagi, Wanguri, Northlakes, Jingili all nice, also Lyons which is a newer suburb near the hospital but more expensive. Nightcliff is popular as it's near the sea. Down the track is Palmerston, a satellite city which has grown hugely in the last 20 years. Nice houses down there although stick to newer suburbs, some parts of the old ones like Gray and Moulden not so good. Good road link to Darwin, about a 20minute drive into the city from Palmo. Hope this helps! Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emma1976 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hi Helen Thanks for this, we are considering Palmerston so at least we know where to look, I will look at the other places you have mentioned. Are you living in Darwin? Emma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
