been in perth 2 weeks now still dont know where to live!!!
Hi all,
Well, weve been in perth 2 1/2 weeks now and loving it. so far hubby and daughter got a jobs and my daughter and I have both bought cheap run around cars. hubby landrover is on its way in our container.
Were staying in Leeming for another week and half, and still havent decided where to move to!!!!!!!!!!! need to rent for about 3 months whislt we find a house for about $320.000. would like to rent in the same area as we will buy if possible, so dont have to keep changing daughters school but still dont know where to live!!!
We have been as far down as port kennedy, wasnt really for us, and as far up as Clarkson, which we like but love freo, and Clarkson seems to be a bit to far out!!!!!!!!! go what shall I do????? dont want to be too far from a nice beach but cant afford to live 5 mins walk away. any ideas much appreciate, im getting desparate now as looking for a rental at the weekend. Made a nice friend in Rockingham but hubbys not sure on the area, hes working in Cannington by the way.
Thanks in advance

Hi Dawn,
On the few occasions that I've commuted from Kinross to South of the River traffic's been a hassle. Only if you leave before 6:30 am do you get a reasonably congestion free run down the Mitchell/Reid Highway. After this you're looking at well over an hour's drive. (Add another 10 mins for Clarkson).I'd therefore say if hubby's job is long term, stay south of the river, but I don't know a lot about the suburbs/beaches down there.

Hi
We are hoping to move to the Mandurah area when we finally get our visas. Its lovely down there and in my humble opinion worth looking at. The train will be in soon and make it more commutable.
If you like Freo that much what about considering Hamilton Hill, White Gum Valley, Hilton, or Coogee (you will get more for your money and still be close to the beach and commutable.) Our friends live in Freo (a couple of streets from the Capaccino strip) and a they bought last year (just affordable). A house sold in their street recently for $850,000 which is an increase of about $250.000 in a year!!
Good luck and happy house hunting.
