    Hi Kum Yin,

    Many thank for your input. I'm sorry I couldn't respond sooner. Been tied up with lots to do lately. Its funny how we tend to want to do a lot more when the year is nearly up isn't it?

    I really appreciate the insight on the houses and suburbs. I've heard about the East suburbs and that its supposedly the next 'in' place to live in. Will definitely head out there and have a look  at the houses. Ideally, what I would like is a house with a waterfront view. However, as we are all on budgets, I've got to keep and eye out for a good buy.

    I'm also considering apartments for the short term. One in particular is Prices Apartments on Grenfell. Thinking of renting for a while. Would anyone happen to know what the building used to be? I understand that it has just been refurbished.

    As always, really appreciate EVERYONE's time to help me out here on this blog.

    Cheers!
    Charlotte

    Hello Mum,

    Thanks for your input! I've had a chance to look at some of the suburb maps available on Adelaide. I like Fitzroy and Thorn Gate. Some blogs say that its one of the most expensive around. What do I consider expensive? Well I guess a house that is more than $700k. I'm keeping a lookout for good bargains. Public transport is important of course, but I will probably be driving because its really tough bringing my toddler around.

    I'm looking for a house, preferably something around the 300sqm size. Don't think there are any good developments now so I'll probably have to consider one on the market. When I do move to Adelaide, I might rent for two to three weeks but I would prefer to buy straight out. In fact, I'm going on a 'look and see' trip this Christmas. Hopefully I'll find a house that I like.

    What's important to me is a suburb with a good preschool. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for your tip AnGeLcAkE. I'm researching the areas you've suggested. My husband has just received news that he'll probably be working in the city. Hence, it looks like I've got to find accomodation nearer there. What do you think about the suburbs around North Terrace? I've heard that the area is rather safe, but it is expensive. If you do have any suggestions, I'd love to hear from you.

    Thanks again!
