Hi there

Me and my friend are moving to Perth in the new year, and are both planning to work in hospitality.
We are both in our early twenties and would like an area that offers the following criteria:
Nightlife
Good links to restaurants, hotels ect (for work)
Less than a 20min drive to the beach
Good apartments to rent, in a safe and reasonably affordable area.

So far we have been recommended Fremantle and High gate.

Is there any other places you could recommend to us please, or would the two locations mentioned above be about right?

Any more information about these areas and what its like to live there would be fantastic!

That would be a great help

Thanks a lot!

Hi there, Fremantle (Freo) will be more of a small town feel with pubs and bars etc. Lots happening throughout the year and some different 'funky style' apartments. Friends of ours (young early 20's) live there and love it, their apartment is a disused and re furbished biscuit factory.

Freo has a good train link to Perth city if you end up working there...parking is very expensive if you thought about driving in.

Have you checked rental prices for the areas you are considering?

Inner areas around the CBD, ie Leederville, Subiaco, South Perth etc all the way along the Fremantle train line till the coast. Don't go to Northern/Southern suburbia, you'll hate it. Scarborough is good too if you like beach life.

Freo for sure... But what do you consider "reasonable" rent?

Not THE cheapest place to live
