Re: Moving to Newfoundland
Yes we are in Houston at the moment and so are used to having to drive everywhere! Nowhere is considered walking distance here!
We don't have a date yet for when the move will take place, but it is supposed to be within the next couple of months. We don't know our budget yet either, so can't really plan too much at the moment! Thanks for the info on Conception Bay. Once the wheels start turning, that will be our starting point.
Thanks for your help

I suspect that your decision as to where you want to live will be as much driven by what's available to rent as in where you would ideally like to live. The rental market is very tight.
That being said, this would be a typical property in a nice enough area of CBS: http://www.realtor.ca/propertyDetail...Key=-247003415 The owner is a provincial MHA!

Re: Moving to Newfoundland
That house looks fab! Looks like you get more bang for your buck there than in Houston when it comes to renting.
Could anyone give me a clue as to what to expect the costs of the monthly utilities and sky tv eqivalent?
Many thanks again folks

$150 a month gets you TV, Internet and Phone. (Add $50 or so if you want sports and movie packages).

Re: Moving to Newfoundland
Thank you, again for your help. This has given us a really good heads up! It is now a case of playing the waiting game to see what and when regarding contracts!

Re: Moving to Newfoundland
No doubt Julie has gotten settled away now but in terms of places to look to rent I'm surprised no previous posters really picked up on other options other than CBS and Paradise. In particular the city itself has some stunning properties and offers a completely different quality of life than the commute to satellite towns and subdivisions, IMHO!
