lol

In regards to medina and industrial strip, studies indicate the wind pushes it NE ! towards freo way.

Oh and Second Club Lock/Car alarm !

so you guys are saying medina is a BIG no go???

looks nice in the pictures!!

haha, they'll try and sell you anything thru pictures mate.

I don't know your financial position, but houses are pricey in WA. Doesn't really matter where you live. Like every other country there are your "trouble area's" but doesn't mean to say you can't live there. Just build a bloody great big wall around your property and get 2 rotweilers to protect you.

Anyway, getting back to where you should live. In a recent study, most pom's migrating to Perth from the UK were residing in areas such as Rockingham (south of Perth) or up Joondalup/Clarkson/Butler way (north of Perth) If I was to choose out of these area's I would choose the latter option. But thats because I also live North, so I am entirely biased. I'm also not suggesting you go live with ur "own kind", but moving out here can be really hard and stressful so it would be nice to be able to meet people that have done the same thing as you. Both Rockingham and Clarkson area's have a bit of a pommy culture, with pubs similar to back in the UK.

My girlfriend and her family have been thru what your about to do, so I understand its a big move. B asically, buy a house where ever you can afford one, if you can, because you will be doing better than most of us who can't. If you're planning on renting. Take a look at the suburbs I mentioned, rent is cheapish in Clarkson for example, but thats a different subject all together. I'm sure I saw you mention buying a property...

Personally I would try and live closer to the city than Joondalup / Rockingham. Although that would depend on what kind of work you are chasing. If it is in or near the city, you will have a long commute every day which will get tiresome quickly.

Personally all suburbs are bad and all are good. It all depends on your neighbours. Inherently cheaper suburbs bring 'cheaper' people and you get the problems.

Personally I'd go for a short term rental near to where you will be working and then if you are looking to buy, check out the suburbs yourself.

Some things are more important than money to me - I would only buy a property there that I plan to rent out (and even that I can see having problems).

actually, medina is a hell of alot better than it was. Theyve moved some of the Homes West places.
As for the freeway, its not that close that it would be a problem, and the smells from the industrial strip. My friend lives in that area, and he virtually never complains about it.

To each their own. Id prefer Medina over Lynwood, but thats me.

cheers guys now i am really confused lol

think we will rent for a few months first may check out clarkson?? although ideally moveing out of britain coz we are fed up with the way its run, dont like the pub culture either, cant have everything though.....
