Thanks Perthguy and Cjay. All the replies have given me a different perspective which I hadn't thought about. That's why SS is such a great place. Time for me to look at more properties!

Thanks Edison. Yup, Adelaide is pretty easy to get around. Reason why I'm leaning towards a property in the CBD is with all the ongoing new developments to rejuvenate the city ( e.g the new RAH, Adelaide Oval redevelopment, the new Women & Children Hospital, UniSA expansion, Riverfront Precinct...

Hi Jim. Thanks. What would your recommendation be for achieving a higher than 6% return in Adelaide CBD? We are currently living in the suburbs now and have fully paid our property. Reason we are looking to get an apartment in the city is we might be looking to sell our house and move into...
