You probably wouldn’t want a pool at Henley Beach. It’s a beautiful part of the Adelaide coastline. I’m further south at Hallett Cove and the beaches are all fantastic. (And not crowded).
I moved to Adelaide about 30 years ago from Victoria, it took some time to get used to it but now when i go to Melbourne i hate it because its so intense on the roads and its changed so much, so im very happy in Adelaide and we used to have a in ground pool an we got alot of use out of it, summers get pretty hot over here 😊
Prices are no longer cheap in Adelaide for a house...in 2019 my house was $370,000 and now has risen to $850,000 and is still rising fast...it was slower for the prices to rise than the east and west coasts but once it got started it rocketed like crazy. Many people priced out of the Sydney and Melbourne markets were quick to set their sights on Adelaide as it's much closer to the east coast than Perth. The house next door has a family that moved from Melbourne and across the road is a Canadian/Aussie family from Qld...two houses from them is a family that moved from Sydney. Rentals are rare and expensive in my area (an old established railway line suburb with houses over 100 years old) and any house for sale is not available for long...it's actually really scary how fast this all happened.
Brisbane person here…bought a house in late 2020 during Covid on the outskirts of Adelaide to live in, (because it was really cheap compared to QLD) and now it has nearly doubled! Bonus!
@@dixitjain6851 Cheltenham... Now the houses around me are selling for...$1.1 and $1.2 million. Maybe because many houses still have ¼ acre blocks here....the backyards are very long and you could fit at the least three semi-detached houses behind the main house..maybe four or five realistically though. And it's an older railway suburb so has good connections to the city and Port Adelaide...also I'm two blocks from Port Adelaide Football clubs old home ground Alberton Oval.
@@ryno1808 I came from the east, grew up in different areas like Marden and Burnside etc., but live further north than you near Gawler - not Munno Para. When looking for a property everyone said do not get anything near Elizabeth or Salisbury and I asked them why and they said they were all high crime areas. I nearly bought in Craigmore but glad I didn't as that area has had a few issues in recent years. Not that every place is perfect of course but some areas have a lot of drug issues that bring on high crime.
@dee-smart im in craigmore the north has cleared up over the years its totally fine know... its a different generation of youth. there is drug use everywhere you go drug doesn't matter what area
Adelaide’s lovely, but as an East Gippslander it’s way too hot for me. They get extreme heatwaves that last for weeks, whereas ours clear in a day or two. You’d definitely get plenty of use out of a pool there, or from being close to the coast. It’s much quieter than most of the other capital cities, but has great venues and facilities. One of the things to remember though is that South Australia was free settled. It makes a huge difference in culture. It’s far more classist and judgmental than that of other States, because the British class system was brought over and maintained by wealthy settlers.
That Elizabeth Grove house is an ex Housing Trust duplex, you can tell by the floorplan how the middle wall has no passthrough and they were actually very well built out of double brick in the 50's and 60's...the South Australian government built thousands of these duplex (conjoined houses) in large estates to infil relatively underutilised land between the older suburbs...many people who lived in them eventually were given the opportunity to purchase the property for a cheaper value and some accepted, afterwards the public were also allowed to purchase them according to what the market valued them (which was really low because they have small rooms and outdated layouts), some purchased the whole duplex (two conjoined houses), renovated them and sold them...all the ones that were never bought were eventually bulldozed to make way for higher density private modern housing.
The last 2 aren’t too bad value wise but the 2 for 1 is definitely a knockdown rebuild. You could put a duplex on that block with 4 beds each for probably $700,000. I reckon you could have 2 properties for million each, dare I say $700,000 profit?? 🤞🏻
Being from Adelaide and living in the north myself, no way would I buy in that suburb. You have to be careful. Crime ridden areas around Elizabeth and Salisbury and Munno Para.
Damn bro my first guess was around 250k for the first house.. 🙃 Belgium is so much smaller than Australia, bur the houses here are a lot more affordable.. You have so much available space in Australia.. a house should cost an apple and an egg
There are a lots of migrants from the UK in Perth.Its a lot cheaper than anywhere i think.My brothers neighbour just sold her 4 bedroom 3 bathroom house with a pool and garage very modern well maintained,$595 thousand.
Funnily enough those semi detached duplexes are built very strong. They use to be government housing but I wouldn’t live in that area. I lived there when I was a kid and Elizabeth grove should definitely be avoided. They sold for only $30k back then and most of them are not insulated filled with a bit of asbestos
House #1: Adelaide has a noise ban on night flights. From about 10PM to 7AM, there are no flights in or out. Remember this, if considering a property in this area.
Something people need to be aware of is if they are Aussies wanting to live abroad permanently, like a friend of mine who is eager to go live with her lover in the US, well the Aussie side makes it hard to leave. She got the go ahead from the US but she is in Adelaide and they want to interview her in Sydney to see if she can qualify for LEAVING Australia because she is Aussie born. Ha. Also the cost side. They lost $500 in application fees and she had to come up with another $500 before she goes for the interview. There isn't even a guarantee that they will give her the go ahead. How fucking ridiculous is that. She is definitely a prisoner here at the moment.
@@sustainart5207 She's my friend's mum and is pretty gullible but she went and had the interview. They made her take a series of jabs (all cabal bad obviously) and she is a normie - easily led and had her other covid jabs so she's going 6' under soon anyway, but I am thinking it might have had something to do with her wanting to retain her Aussie pension. I believe she has been given it and that could explain a few things. She is leaving in a week's time.
Mate, you realise that Adelaide has (consistently) the hottest temperatures on record for any Australian capital city? A pool is definitely NOT a bad idea. (Maybe not on the 46 degree days). Love your channel. Cheers.
It wasn't until the late 70's that a dedicated shower became a thing. Until then shower over the bath was the norm and Aus=UK 99.5% for everything. Even curtain material we had access to was from the UK and can be seen in UK TV and movies etc up until the late 70's.
My parent's house built in 1966 had a dedicated shower, as did most people I knew with houses of that vintage in the suburb I grew up in. I've lived in flats built as long ago as the 50s that had shower stalls. Definitely earlier than the 1970s.
Been in Aus for 8 months now and things aren't going well at all. Finding it so tough to make new friends/connections. I miss family and lifelong friends back in the UK hugely. Regular bouts of intense homesickness and my job is stressful. Living alone doesn't help. I feel trapped and isolated all the time. Please think twice before moving to this country. I am working on an exit strategy to get back home.
Thanks for this video! Would love for you to do more of these! May I seek to learn from others, are there any content creators who do reviews of homes like this from domain and realestate? or any resources that will help me do my own research from these sites such as the video posted above.
Adelaide can be very very hot in the summer because the heat rolls in off the dessert and apparently you can get wind storms.Ive never been there but my best friend lived there and had to sell up and move back to Tas because of the dust storms making her ill
Very hard to compare value without knowing the demographic or socioeconomic aspects of any area compared to quality of housing. Hove is the best value here though be paying over $1M for this house now as these beach side or nearby are generally tightly held. It’s a middle class area but being only 1.5 km or so from the beach makes it desirable. Get the choice of swimming at home or the beach. Generally for 2 to 3 months a year depending on cold tolerance. The negative would be the closeness to the railway line. Henley Beach is more of a premium area and therefore the price is higher. 2nd best value. Both of these areas are about 30 minutes drive from the CBD. Reynella is a working class suburb. About 40 minutes drive to the CBD The Mile End property is related to its proximity to the city. 10 minute walk or 5 minute drive. It’s in a partly industrial zone and the worst aspect is it’s directly under the flight path for most of the year. Jets pass over at about 200m! Adelaide still has plenty of them! Elizabeth Grove’s price reflect the working class area and its distance from the CBD. About 45 minutes drive. It’s a low income suburb with a high crime rate hence the price. Affordable yes. Desirable no. Experienced the highest percentage increases lately due to its affordability. The Elizabeth area was developed and marketed for initial immigration from the UK in particular. The now defunct Holden manufacturing plant was a major source of employment for many decades. The Queen opened the provincial suburb in the 1950’s. Adelaide is an ideal capital city if a potential resident can stand the cool to cold (by Australian standards) during winter. One of the highlights is the weather for 6 months of the year from November to April. It rarely rains and when it is hot, it’s bearable under 34C as the humidity is low and the nights are mild. Nights with lows of 15C to 22C. Traffic is rarely a problem compared to Sydney,Melbourne or Brisbane. The road network is very well laid out on a flat plain. Recent upgrades in the Southern and Northern highways have reduced congestion in peak hours. Really need to visit for 4 or 5 days to gain a better insight into the city re areas, quality and value. Most suburbs will have developments except for outer suburbs. Immigration is high especially for Chinese students with enticing subsidies compared to the eastern states. Many move from the eastern States due to the better value and high quality of life.
Adekaide is a great place to live. It has great beaches which are close tonearly everyone in Adelaide. The weather is Mediterranean which means its never too cold but can get a bit warm in summer. It has great restaurants and the night life while a bit quiet is still OK. I grew up in Adelaide in the 60s and 70s as a teenager and it was a great city. It still is a great city especially for families. Plenty of work opportunities, plenty to see and do within a 2 hour drive. A safe city where I feel comfortable walking through at 12 o'clock aat night.
Adelaide beats Melbourne and Sydney but you might choose Melbourne or Sydney if traffic nightmares are your vibe, then they'll be the places for you. I grew up in Adelaide but haven't been there for 20 years and it has everything required to be comfortable.
I wouldn’t swap my little part of the world in a coastal suburb of Adelaide for any other place in Australia ❤❤❤ (And I’ve been to all other capital cities quite a few times).
Hello The Johnston Family Happy New Year to you and your family. Good to see you again 🌺🦋🌈❤️👍🙏🏻from Edith in cairns Top North.

Elizabeth is a kind of dodgy suburb, so that's why its cheap...
No its not. Its no longer the early 2000s
Adelaide is the best city in Australia to live. Stop telling people about it.
Elizabeth Grove - ha, crime area. I wouldn't buy there. If I was thinking of buying I would look into the suburb's reputation as well.
No its not

I don't know what house prices are like in the UK but remember the pound is worth double the AU$ so halve all those prices.

Only problem with a lot of the x government houses is that many have the inside of the roof insulated with asbestos.

I live in Adelaide and is ok except the weather at the moment .
The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Adelaide could quite possibly be the coolest city in Australia. Just saying.
(Maybe they don’t realise that 46 degrees is in celsius).
because we all know the WSJ is the go to source for whats "cool"
I would also encourage anyone moving to consider regional cities which are more affordable but still have everything needed.
And don't forget boring.
It would be good if the regional cities and towns got that boost but they unfortunately seem to be stuck 20 years behind the capitals.
Reynella is pronounced ra nella
Adelaide gets much hotter than Brisbane in Summer, albeit without the humidity; and with colder winters
Brisbane is way too expensive
I much prefer the 1 or 2 really hot DRY summer days in Adelaide than the stifling humidity of anywhere north of Sydney.
Damn bro my first guess was around 250k for the first house.. 🙃 Belgium is so much smaller than Australia, bur the houses here are a lot more affordable.. You have so much available space in Australia.. a house should cost an apple and an egg

How about looking at Tasmania They say it's like Britain in many ways especially the country of the state house ,prices are reasonable
Why would anyone that has left Britain want to buy something that reminds them of Britain?
There are a lots of migrants from the UK in Perth.Its a lot cheaper than anywhere i think.My brothers neighbour just sold her 4 bedroom 3 bathroom house with a pool and garage very modern well maintained,$595 thousand.

The east and east south part of adelaide are pretty good. We live in Happy valley is pretty good😊
Thanks for the tips
Some absolute deals there, not sure if i could manage the 2 for 1 house deal though 🤔
Why not?
I people can't afford to buy a house here then they need to migrate.
Adelaide pro is: small, it can develop like hongkong, tokyo....etc...very convenient city
how can you say it’s small and then compare its development to 2 major cities
Adelaide can be very very hot in the summer because the heat rolls in off the dessert and apparently you can get wind storms.Ive never been there but my best friend lived there and had to sell up and move back to Tas because of the dust storms making her ill
Sounds like she was living in the outer northern suburbs..Salisbury, Elizabeth,golden Grove,Gawler, or even further out than these.
