Frewville

"A good area with some nice houses"

Frewville is a tiny little suburb but is one that is highly sought after. Frewville shops provide all you could need on a day to day basis. It’s close to Parkside, Unley and if you want a night out, it's easy to get to the city or to the Arkaba. The ark has a great drive though with one of the best wine selections anywhere with the added bonus of frequent specials.
There are some good little townhouses in Frewville that make it perfect for young professionals and couples.
It’s close to the city and its just a short walk or bus ride away. Being by Glen Osmond road you can easily get out of the city up the freeway to visit the wineries or Hahndorf.

Parkside

"One of the best."

This is a very popular suburb close to the city just across from the south parklands. With a wide range of housing available it is a great spot with a good blend of residents.
There are plenty of shops close by to get everything you could need. And the city is not far away. You could easily walk in in 15 minutes or catch a bus. I've walked it many a time from Parkside across the parklands and into the city.
This well established area has beautiful tree lined streets with plenty of street parking. One of the most attractive areas in Adelaide in my opinion.
Not far from some great restaurants of Adelaide, including the cafes and restaurants of Unley, this is a great spot. It’s easy to get out for a Sunday brunch.
If you're lucky enough to work at some of the places on Greenhill Road you can wake late and get to work on time.

Unley

"One of the premier suburbs of Adelaide with good reason"

Close to the city with abundant public transport, cafes and restaurants this is one of the best places to live in Adelaide.
There is a wide range of housing available from large houses on large blocks, to row cottages, cottages and units so there is something for everyone.
There streets a tree lined and beautiful. There is reasonable
There are plenty of quality shops nearby to get everything you could need and if it’s not in Unley it will be in nearby Hyde Park, Parkside, Fullarton or the city.
There are plenty of parks and open spaces available as well.
In Unley there are a few nice pubs for a drink and a good selection of restaurants for a good meal.
Perfect for everyone. However, the price tag can be a bit much for many.

Adelaide (CBD)

"Much quieter than you expect for city living"

You would expect living in the heart of Adelaide it would be noisy and you would pay too much for too little. Well it depends. If you are looking at apartments around Hindley Street and Rundle Street, it will be a little noisy. Although there are some great quiet little areas in the east end close to Rundle street. But row cottages and town houses to the south of the city are much quieter so you could be forgiven for thinking you are in the suburbs.
There are all the shops you could need close by, even a big hardware store a short walk away at Kent Town
There are plenty of pubs and clubs for a night out or a quiet beer in the beer gardens.
If you need to get out of the city you can catch the tram down to Glenelg or a bus anywhere else around Adelaide.
With parklands and gyms close by there are plenty of places get fit.
Living in the centre of Adelaide is perfect for young couples and professionals that work in the city.

North Adelaide

"I can't tell you how many times I've looked at moving here"

A little city in its own right just north of the central Adelaide. Beautiful tree lined streets are the hall mark of the area. Wide streets and plenty of parking.
With great cafes, restaurants and bars this is the young professional’s paradise. However, it doesn’t come cheap. There are plenty of apartments and units around but there are also a number of beautiful old houses and townhouses that the rest of Adelaide want to own all of which are expensive for what they are. But that is part of being so close to the city in an area that has everything.
Some of the best Adelaide nightspots are in North Adelaide so it does get busy on the weekends. However, somehow the streets surrounding O'Connell street remain quiet and peaceful.
If you want to see a movie, you can walk to the cinema. If you want to eat out, there are plenty of places to choose from including some of the best restaurants and cafes Adelaide has to offer.
There are plenty of places to walk through the surrounding parklands and you can have a round of golf if that is your thing.
There are plenty of hospitals close by if you ever need them. Perhaps as a result of rolling your ankle having a game of golf at either the public or private courses.
It is a short walk to the city or you can easily catch the bus. But why bother, everything you need and more is right here.

Who hasn't.My family almost bought a house there around the time I was in Year 2 at the local North Adelaide Primary School.167A Palmer Place to be exact and in 1985 that sold for $155,000 which is about the price of a nice Hi Spec Audi A6 OR BMW 5 Series today.Convenient to practically everything.today that house would be worth a cool $800,000 to a Million Dollars.

Magill

"A reasonable area with a good mix of houses"

Magill is a popular suburb and with good reason. It’s an easy trip into the city down Magill road and is well serviced by public transport. There is a University campus, good schools\and plenty of shops.
It’s a well established area with a number of very nice streets that are lined by gums. However, with the good comes the bad. There are some really ugly streets in Magill as well with some unattractive houses and poorly maintained yards. Its an area to choose your street wisely.
There are a few good places to eat around the place and there is a winery close by. There are also a few good pubs around the place.
An area more for families than young couples it is a great place to raise a family.

"Fabulous area to raise kids"

In the foothills of the Adelaide Hills there is a good chance you'll see and hear some native wildlife. There are some great parks and playgrounds around and a few schools as well. It is a great area for children to grow up with the benefit of not being too far from the city. The trip into the city is an easy one.
There are plenty of three bedroom houses around on good sized blocks. It really is a family's paradise.
It backs up against linear park in places and black Hill conservation park. If you get a view of the hill it is stunning. I looked at a house up here and the view from the kitchen was almost enough to convince me to buy a house that really wasn’t suitable.

Newton

"Nice green area not far from the city"

There are some great shops in Newton so you won't have to go far to get what you need. The shops at Newton have a great selection of continental foods for the cooks at home that want the best produce to make those Italian dishes.
There are some newer houses in here on small blocks as well as the older houses on larger blocks which provides a bit over everything for a lot of people. It’s a nice area to walk around in.
Not far from the city and well serviced by public transport it’s a good area to live for young families and people that want the lifestyle of the suburbs with easy access to the city.
The shops at Firle are also not far away.

Ingle Farm

"Great shops and easy access to the city"

Out on the other side of Grand Junction road in the north east it isn't too far from the city but far enough out to not be too busy.
Ingle Farm has a great shopping centre with a good selection of shops. If its not at Ingle Farm its not far out to Tea tree plaza.
The area is well established and many of the houses have been built in the last 30-40 years so there are a lot of cream brick houses. It is a great area for families that want the lifestyle of the suburbs but don't want to be too far from the city.

The area is well established and is a nice quiet area not far from the city. Gilles plain primary is close by just across Sudholz road in Hillcrest.

"A good family area"

Parks, lakes and wildlife, this is a wonderful spot to be. There are a lot of parks and reserves making this a great spot for those that love a walk among the trees. It also has one of the best vibes you could find anywhere in Melbourne. But that’s because it has what I'm looking for.
Families will love the proximity to schools and kindergartens.
There is a Centro not far away so you can get everything you need without having to venture too far away.
Safe tree lined streets make it a great spot for kids, and you don't have to worry about your cats or dogs getting hit either.
It’s not going to be the ideal spot for young professionals or couples unless you like the quiet life and don't mind not having the restaurants, cafes and abundant nightlife you can get in other suburbs.

"Great amenities in a wonderful location"

Just out of Torquay but a town in its own right you get the best of everything. Close to a fairly major centre to get everything you need but just out of it to give you a more country, more relaxed feel.
Kindergartens close by make for a great spot for young families. Add to that the great amenities like wonderful parks with playgrounds and tennis courts and you are in family heaven.
But the relaxed lifestyle would work equally well for retirees. No matter what you time in life, this could make the perfect sea change. With Geelong within cooee and Melbourne an hour and a half away you're never far from anything but have the best of the beach and country feel.

"A nice place to be with a bit for everyone."

A great suburb with a great feel to it.
The area is well serviced by public transport getting you to where you need to go. It’s not a bad commute to the city either if you work in the CBD.
There is the Chirnside Park Shopping complex not far away so if you can't get it around the corner, just take the next corner, it’s that close.
For families there are schools within walking distance and for those with younger children, there is childcare close by as well. This makes living here very convenient.
Safe streets and with parks close by make this a great family location.
But if you're looking for nightlife and masses of restaurants perhaps this isn't the spot for you.

Torquay

"Surf and much much more"

Tired of city living and want to live it up in a surfers paradise? Torquay could be for you. Home to bells Beach and a great surfing competition Torquay has a lot more to offer than just a great beach.
It is a great town not too far from Melbourne with one of the best 'feels' you are likely to experience anywhere.
Shops, there are plenty, especially if you're looking to upgrade the surfing gear, but also for everything else you could need.
restaurants and cafe's abound allowing you to grab a relaxed bite to eat without having to venture far.
For families there are some good schools and more importantly parks and playgrounds where the kids can have a great time.

Patterson Lakes

"Hoem to some great parks"

Patterson Lakes is a great area for water lovers. There is river access as well as the beach so make you choice. If you have a boat you can get onto the river or out to sea and do a bit of fishing.
Home to some great parks including tennis courts and wonderful playgrounds it’s an area for all ages. Playgrounds for the younger kids, tennis courts for older kids right up to the 80 year old kids that love a hit.
The area has a great vibe, but is getting to be a fair way out of the city making the commute a long one whether it be by car or public transport.
Not an area for those looking for the best nightlife Melbourne has to offer, or the best eateries, but a great area to retire to or raise a family. Retirees and families want similar things don't they? Quiet streets access to walks and parks and healthcare...

"A good area to get into"

A great beach suburb not too far down the coast to be a huge hassle to get to the city. The area is well serviced by public transport so if you need to commute its great.
There are some good shops in the area to give you the essentials and major shopping centres like Southland aren't far away for everything else.
The beach is right there so get down there and soak up the sun. Nothing beat a walk along the beach and here you can do it when you want.
Health facilities are close by, but that’s not surprising seeing there are a lot of older people in the area. But that also means its a perfect place for young families to come in, revitalise the area and live it up in a great area.
There are schools close by as well as kindergartens.

Bonbeach

"Good parks and playgrounds around"

Bonbeach is a nice area to be, friendly but not nosey or in your face.
There is a good coverage of public transport to get you where you need to go. It’s not too far into the city for the commuters but it will be a reasonable trip.
There are some good parks and playground around the area which for those with young kids, is very important. I'd go crazy if I had to drive suburbs over to satisfy my daughter's need for a slide or swing at the park.
The shops close by will give you all that you need but not far beyond that are other major centres where you can get all you need an then some.
There are aged care homes in the area for retirees, and who wouldn't want to retire to an area like this. A good area for families and retirees but probably not so much for those looking for a thumping nightlife and the best restaurants in Melbourne.

"A kid friendly area"

This area is great especially for kids. that great combination of wonderful parks and a great beach, what more could you want?
Definitely a great spot to raise a family, good sized blocks on safe streets with parks close by. Let them run.
Its easy enough to get to the city by public transport or in the car. There are a couple of train stations in the area making it easy to get on the train to where you need to go.
There are plenty of good shops close by to get the essentials. But Southland isn't far away.
The area is home to some good schools as well as kindergartens and childcare. Add to that playgroups and play centres and you'll never want to leave.
However, if you're after masses of top restaurants and nightlife this isn't the spot to be.

Aspendale Gardens

"A good area for families"

Aspendale Gardens is good area for families. There is reasonable public transport coverage making it easy for commuters to get to the city.
There are some good schools around the area as well as Kindergartens and childcare which is convenient for workers.
The area has a nice vibe to it, which isn't surprising given its closeness to safe beaches, plenty of sporting clubs and surf life saving. The shops around the corner provide most of what you need but its not far to Southland or Frankston.
I think a good sign of a good area is its parks and Aspendale Gardens has some good ones including some wetlands close by.
Bike and walking trails make this a great area for those that like to get active. Walk or ride down to the beach and have a dip.
It’s not an area for those that want a good night out, more for families.

Quiet streets in a great area close to the beach. Long beach is right here, one of the best beaches on offer in Melbourne.
There are a lot of good walking and cycling trails near by to take you to the best places the area has to offer.
The area has some good public transport with the train not far from anywhere whisking you into the city. Although it can be a long ride for commuters.
There are good schools and kindergartens in the area as well as childcare centres making it convenient for families, especially young families.
There are plenty of good shops nearby so you shouldn't need to go too far to get what you need at good prices. But Southland isn't far away. Keysborough and Frankston are also within a short drive.
