@pat007 – You can get an idea off http://city-data.com http://www.city-data.com/forum/ and if you post you are looking to move or looking for a place in the area, they will be able to give you an idea… Remember though, they are peoples opinions but it will give you a good idea

@jayhinrichs The thoughts of a narrow-minded investor – people still have to live in the “ruff” areas, IE, if you were investing in Brisbane and you bought a couple cheap houses in Woodridge & Inala “ruff” people still live there, and pay rent and has the population to support a rental house, if you buy in the “satillite cities” and rentals get cheaper in the major cities then they will flock closer to work… you potentially lose more rental potential as say in the big cities. You can also buy cash flow positive properties and STILL get the capital growth in the future!

@emma171 – Hahaha google drive, love this, I do it sometimes as well, but remember google maps are not very up to date either!
