Hi,
could anyone tell me of some nice suburbs to live in Adelaide please?
Thanks Laura

Glenelg, Brighton, Somerton park, Seacliff Park, Seacliff, Hove, parts of Hallett Cove, Seacombe heights, Darlington, Goodwood,

Stay away from anything with Hackhem in the name , Elizabeth, Para hills
Paralowie Enfield just to name a few

There are many nice suburbs though both North and South

Cheers

Kate

This is such a hard question to answer because everyone has different idea's on what's nice and what isn't. You really need to look around and get a feel for the place yourself and then decide.

For instance, the previous poster say's stay away from certain area's, well I live in one of them and it's a great area.....for me and my family.

I wouldn't live in some of the places they have mentioned, again that's because they aren't right for me and my family.

Sorry, but it's something very personal and ultimately down to personal preference and what you are looking for.

Thankyou very much for your replies,is there any websites that you know of to help me get a better look at the places?
Thanks again Laura

www.adelaidebrits.tk has a section on suburbs.

I have lived at Marion - handy on arrival as it has the biggest mall in the Southern hermisphere, and only 10 mins to beach at Brighton which is a really nice spot for families. Now at Aberfoyle Park and moving to Woodcroft in November - very happy with Aberfoyle Park, lovely and green and close to where I work, but further out of the city. Woodcroft is upmarket and quiet with its own winery and another 10 mins away from the city.

There is a suburb for every one here - good luck.

Sorry Wendy I didn't mean to offend you or your suburb was merely trying to be helpful......

Hi , we are also in the same situation not sure where to start, its such a big place. Hoping to go early next year to validate visa's. Will visit for 5 weeks to see where we would like to live and also do some research with my husbands work.

Hi ..what does your husband do ?

Hi Laura,

We live in Somerton Park, we are only 2 mins walk to the beach, we are also close to public transport, it really depends what you are looking for?
I have 3 children, one goes to high school, & 2 are in primary, we live very central, everything is very closeby.

Thanks for the reply we also have children aged 3 and 8 so schools have to come into it aswell.Are the schools good there?What we are looking for is similar to what we have now just in a better enviroment and standard of living for our kids to grow up in,the uk is going down hill fast and we are desperate to get out.

Hi my husband has his own company dealing in complete kitchen and bathroom projects from beginning to end.

Hi Laura,
I found the following webpage an interesting read about the suburbs.

http://www.abelrealty.com.au/_excel/...mes2005_06.htm

It doesn't tell you much about the areas as in how many parks they have etc but it gives the average house prices (up to Dec 06), number of houses sold and how much house prices are rising/falling in all of Adelaide's suburbs.

Mark

I know, no problem

Hello everyone!

We're Adelaide bound as well. Hoping to be there in June 2008. We went out on a reckie in April and really liked the City. There are so many nice suburbs that really you have to spend some time looking around and working out what suits your family, your employment etc. We really like Brighton and surrounding areas as it's by the sea and then again we really like the suburbs at the edge of the city which offer larger plots. Guess we'll have to see where we get jobs etc.
