I am wondering whether it is because the SA business have no confidence in Labour state government as they have been there for so long that they just do the minimum to get by, and with manufacturing and mining collapsing, everybody is leaving for other states to get jobs? causing lower rents...

Ouch! This is not such a good news. Could keep Adelaide house prices depressed (or rise very slowly) if unemployment rate keeps going up. http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/south-australia/south-australias-unemployment-rate-hits-14-year-high/story-fni6uo1m-1227392815028...

Nah, that would trash Burnside characters ... I've seen enough high rises in Sydney and I know it doesn't do character of suburb any good. Plus the SA Gov are planning to build all the new development etc at Glenside anyway sometime in the future. I would seriously have a look into it if the...

Agreed. Great place to live and raise kids IMO.

Motorsport capital? I think Bathurst/Albert Park/Phillip Island residents will argue with you there!

I had a look around the LPPS and GIHS zoned suburbs and I already noticed the jump in prices over last few months. Too much -ve gearing for my liking as it will just burn up my cash.

it is more to show that the Asian/Academic factor (which is very ingrained in Sydney) has moved to Adelaide!

Just to qualify a few things, especially for the Croweaters (I was formerly one myself): - James Ruse is selective high school (and is the best one consistently). So entrance to school is exam based only. There is not such thing as catchment. However people tend to live closer to school once...

Cliff, you can throw in Hurstville as well. Hideous prices for properties there compare to the surrounds. DT, just to give you an idea: Eastwood: - Chinese/Korean shops - Good local public schools. - Train station - Zone in to Epping Boys/Cheltenham Girls - No too far from James Ruse...

Good suburb for PPOR but not good for investment though. Chinese loves buying suburbs with top schools, so I am not surprised by what they are doing there. GIHS is highly rated, likewise for Linden Park.

Thank you for all your responses. Looks like that there is a growing number of people in SA care more about the schools. I never knew Linden Park Primary School is so highly rated. Looking at it, it is an IB school like GIHS. Whilst Adelaideans are definitely not as competitive in nature...

I was looking at Melbourne for IP but looks like it is getting too hot, so I am looking at Adelaide (mainly because I used to live there so I have some knowledge of the suburbs) as it looks like the prices have stablilsed and possibly hot money from eastern states will be coming in. In terms...

They definitely won't become another Detroit but unfortunately not being to top cities in Australia for jobs, it will always put Adelaide in disadvantage. They have been talking building the South Road Motorway linking north and south since the 1990's. Guess what, it was all too hard as you...

I always have soft spot for Adelaide as I grew up there, attended primary, secondary, university, as well as my first job. Adelaide always has problems retaining the brightest and strongest. They all go to Sydney and Melbourne for jobs. I am an example of this (not saying that I am bright and...

Greens and Palmer United will fix all things! :cool: :rolleyes:
