Guest phil woods Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hi all, I posted on here a few months ago. Myself and my family are coming over to WA in the next few months. I am Australian although I havent lived there since I was a kid. My kids have got dual citizenship and my wifes visa app is in (married 11 years, 4 kids etc etc). I am over in WA on 1st Feb for two weeks for a job interview and assessment. I have left myself a week for a bit of a jolly really so that I can look around and get a little bit of a feel for the place again. My question is this..... Thornlie seems to have reasonable house prices, by that I mean they are slightly cheaper, its close to the city so what is the catch?? Does anyone on here live there, have they lived there? Can someone tell me a little bit about the area? Thanks in advance people Phil :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs259cr Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hi, I have just bought a house in thornlie and really like it here. Good transport links, big growth potential. Thornlie is a big suburb and some parts are nicer than others. Forest lakes estate is prob one of the nicest areas. Good luck with the move , C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest phil woods Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Thanks for the replies people, they are really helpful. I liked the idea of thornlie due to the fact that it was relatively close to the city and the house prices seemed more reasonable than the likes of mullaloo where i originally wanted to live. Im not bothered about living by the coast, im not bothered building or buying an established home. My only wants are good schools and good transport to the city. I also need a 5 bedroom house preferably with a good size plot for a pool or a house with a pool. Im open to suggestions. I originally considered buying inland in the hope i would get more home for my money. Thanks again people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
