Best places to live in Adelaide

Dolly,
you are correct, Brighton is a popular 'burb over there. Although i have to say, both Brighton's in Oz would have better beaches than Brighton, or indeed, New Brighton here in the old country

Hi there,

Lived in Adelaide myself for a year (too cold, had to get back to Queensland!). However, Flagstaff Hill is a good suburb with easy access to the city, try and avoid Noarlunga and surrounds (too rough), avoid at all costs Elizabeth and Salisbury (very rough). Best advice? Hallett Cove....Beach, seaviews, not overly expensive, biggest capital growth suburb in Adelaide.

Hi AussiePool,

Hallet cove? Hmmn, i have looked, but it does seem to be a bit of a hike if you work in the city. Having said that, i have even looked at Mt Barker, which takes about 30 mins on the highway so.....
Flagstaff is very lovely, and takes about the same time to get to the cbd; dunno about the travel time from Hallett Cove; perhaps you could enlighten me pls

Cold? Gaw, you tropical northerners, tut!

Hi there,

Hallett Cove is only about 20-25 minutes to the CBD, straight up Brighton Road, turn right at Glenelg!
If you look on a map, the road from Hallett Cove is a dual carriageway (100km limit) up until Marion and thus is just as quick as if you lived in Flagstaff Hill. Flagstaff is nice, and very tree lined, however, for sea views, beach AND capital growth, you cannot go wrong with Hallett Cove (I'm not a PR man for Hallett Cove by the way!).

Thanks, mate...
now we are talking!! Checking out the websites for housing etc.....
lo and behold, you're only right! It is cheaper, the houses are bigger (and i need 5 beds); the views lovely. Think I am sold.....
and also think you COULD be the PR man for the area

Have a guddun
