That is a really good site....I've also used microburbs.com which is really good for info, don't know how accurate it is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking at North Adelaide but that will be in a flat or some time. I have been looking at areas west of the city. Are there any "rough" areas in Adelaide to avoid please? From what I have read and talking to someone who use to live in Semaphore. The general view is avoid anything north of Adelaide. Coast areas - Semaphore, Henley, Glenelg, brighton etc all meant to be nice. South of the city, Unley, Goodwood, Norwood area, and the foothill to the east are all meant to be nice. Suppose just depends how close to the sea you want to be, or you could get somewhere in land with a pool for a similar price to a house near the beach. Getting a month long air bnb is prob the safest bet then find get a feel for the areas before trying to find a rental, I think most are 12 month rentals so you need to be sure where you want to be. I have 2 kids so need to plan well and register them in a school near where we move. Don't to move to another area and have to uproot them after a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not checked them out so not sure how much cheaper they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonandSophietravel Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I've found homely.com.au quite awkward to navigate and there are so many suburbs with amazing reviews that it's hard to really differentiate. Even when filtering using the left hand options, lots of the same suburbs would come up a lot. I've heard in a few places similar to what most people have been commenting though about avoiding the north and the west / inner south being best for somewhere near to the city with decent public transport links. We have some friends in Adelaide around our age (early - mid 30s) so will ask them what they recommend and will post back when I hear. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be fantastic if you could. I would be grateful. When I was saying North Adelaide before i meant the suburb rather than the general area. That does seem a nice place. I hadn't heard anyone say the west was to be avoided though. Edited March 8, 2019 by JetBlast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoid the north, but the west and inner-south appear to be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'm no expert but my mum and my cousins all live around the Hallett Cove area which is lovely (and where we're headed)) and has quite a large expat community. Before that they all lived in Aldinga beach which was also lovely and really reasonably priced but was about an hour away from the city. Both of these areas are to the south of Adelaide city centre.

Hi Gurpreet, Why you delayed for lodgement of visa ?I think once you got invitation your points doesn't matter.You have to provide evidences for claimed points at the time of invitation. If I am wrong please clarify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah exactly, we're the same. Will definitely be around the Hallett Cove, sheidow park area where we end up settling I reckon.
