Can't speak from experience, but most on this forum are off to Perth, there will be many who can advise on their findings,
Put it this way, it's got to be worth a try
We are going over later this year,
Life too short ...

Hi
Hi Christine,
I know Perth reasonably well. We also have two children and are looking at the education issues. Basically, choice on housing depends on budget. Then the old location rules, ie proximity to city, transport beach and river. For schools check the education departments website. The schools in the cheaper suburbs are going to have more social issue problems than others.
One thought is that though new houses are lovely to live in. Buying one that is old, and in need of renovation, and in a better location is a more sensible long term solution.ie, it will have better capital gain.
Please feel free to ask any other questions.
