And if you need any help or advice when you get here, give the peeps at Adelaide Brits a holler and i am sure they'll be glad to help.

podgypossum

We're looking to go there too...am honest evaluation on your return would be great. I know someone else on here just got back and it is so helpful to read reviews! If your up Henley Beach/Grange/brighton/glenelg way let us know what you think!

Have a great trip!

Lucy

bettytweena

mmm agree with grayling there, the suberbs everybody is looking at has rocketed through the roof, for a good area in glenelg or henley beach it will sey you back at least $6 to 9 hundred thous

but the southern subs are great here we are staying in hallett cove and have bought ahouse in woodcroft farm which is also very nice

look forward to seeing any newbies

Hi Arlene

I've just been looking through the Advertiser.

Apartments on the sea in Glenelg are being advertised as 'offers in excess' of $1 million.

The new apartments to be built on the site of the 'magic Mountain' have apparently all been sold at around $2 million.

Depends where in those suburbs you want to be.

Near the sea= expensive.

best wishes

g the apartments you mention are just not worth the money in my opinion

glenelg is lovely but not that lovley as they have to import their sand from up north for a start for their beaches, it is a real upmarket place not for families but for those in millionaires row

places like maslim beach, christies beach and aldinga are great and noorlonga is good to

so we are being priced out of glenelg but so what there are nicer and less cosmopolitan areas to live in

arlene

Grayling

Totally agree Arlene.

I was there a couple of weeks ago and when the wind got up you would have to pay me that much to live there.

People really need to go and look and don't rely on estate agent Hype.

arlene

mmm estate agent jargon especially that in the advertiser is beyond belief, viewing is defo essential

by the way g, i start at flinders on monday

Grayling

Good luck Arlene.

Let me know how you get on. I had a meeting with them a couple of weeks ago and at the RAH.

Not sure about yet though.

Any information would help.

PM if you prefer.

Best wishes
