Researching suburbs
 
Does anyone know any good websites for researching suburbs. I know it's not the ideal way to do it but just wanna get some ideas. We want to narrow things down for when we go for a visit
Thanks:thumbsup:

As noone else has replied, I will start the ball rolling. I think the lack of replies is probably due to the fact that you haven't stated where you are hoping to settle. If you give us an idea of which cities/areas you are interested in, you may get more response............Australia is HUGE!!!!

Give us a clue... Which state? Town? Country? Beach? Price guide? Will you be working? Where? What? What do you have now? What do you want? What do you need?

Brisbane outer suburbs ... Manly and Sandgate, and that's it.

Seems to be mostly within 10km of the CBD, good luck to you if you can afford it!

If I had to live that close and could afford it this is where I'd be:

You probably can afford it - usually all that extra space outer suburban houses have is not that necessary ;) - price wise big house outer suburbs can often convert to smaller house inner suburbs - it's all down to priorities I guess.

Friends of ours bought out that way for around $450,000 about the same time we did, nothing fancy ... we paid $310,000 for our bit of space ... I'm still happy with the decision, just got to find somewhere nearer to home to work :D

Sorry I prob should have mentioned might have been helpful:blink: we're looking at either gold coast or Brisbane. Depends where we have most luck finding work.

For Brisbane, check out suburbs within six kilometre radius of the CBD.
