    My parents live in Ballajura! I used to live in Perth before I moved to Sydney. The best thing about it is that you can live somewhere decent within 30 mins drive from the city. The south of the river is usually a bit more expensive (and posh) than north of the river. Perth is great for families, it's a bit more laidback.

    Have a look at Geelong and the Surf Coast of Victoria. About an hour from Melbourne…via highway or the train. Loads of people move down there for more space for their money, or find jobs down there….surrounded by beaches and the famous surf beach Bells Beach, and the start of the Great Ocean Road.

      @@last_samurai6690 Armadale gets a bit of a bad rap, though the people that live there including my cousin have no issues. Historically Armadale, Kelmscott, Gosnells were terrible areas in the south along with Girraween, Balga and Koondoola in the north.
      It really depends on what your willing to tolerate and what kind of people you get along with. I'm not the most social and don't get along great with very bogan people (despite growing up in a very bogan area) so would personally avoid Armadale, Kwinana, Wellard, Gosnells, Meriwa, parts of Clarkson, parts of Girraween and Balga. BUT I also know plenty of people who live in those areas and love them. They are also the suburbs with the bigger blocks unless they have already been developed. So it can be worth tolerating for the 800m block and cashing in during the next property boom to subdivide.

Any neighbourhood is ok for us provided it is safe and not much drugs as we have younger kids. Thats why when I ask a question I frame it as areas to avoid rather than good areas.

    We did find that unless you paid well for your property, you will be surrounded by rental properties. These can, not always, bring alot of social issues.

    Also.. New Zealand is ON FIRE 🔥 at the moment - a liveable house is close to 1 Million, everything costs and arm and a leg, income is ~ok~ , medical is either too expensive or slower than death. A lot of kiwis are moving to Australia as the system is a catastrophic failure here. Despite the mutual 'trans-tasman' benefits (actually Austrlians have more privilege under) and population difference, there's still 10x more kiwis in Australia then Australians in NZ. The new gen will never be able to settle like this. Planning the move to Brizzie (as working professionals)! Love it based off of your videos! Thanks for uploading.

      And Sydney is even more expensive still. Be lucky to get a one or two bedroom apartment for the money mentioned in the video. For that price you are looking for a cheaper house in Adelaide, Darwin, Hobart or a regional centre. They can be great places to live but they are more isolated and when the economy falters jobs can be tricky to find for one partner and very difficult for two. See:

      Plenty of night life, with all sorts of scenes. Can go to northies if you wanna get trashed and hookup or you could nip over to Freo and head to one of the millions of dive bars (I go squidding on the south mole then just take a 15 minute walk to one of the bars and just ask the chef to do up some calamari rings for something to nibble on whilst I pound vodka cokes lol).
      Joe's juice joint is a personal fav of mine and is voted one of the best dive bars in the world. . .

    I left last year after 10 years … never worked as hard in my life and was going nowhere … sorry but that’s how I found it .. over priced and boring ( joondalup)

      Joondalup and all those suburbs north are boring ..I live in the cannington area and it's a totally different buzz. Much busier .feels more like Sydney and Melbourne suburbs. More food ,entertainment etc. Feels very lonely at night up northern suburbs lol
