Hi everyone, hope to get some advice from you knowledgable lot about Perth as we (me, hubby, toddler) will be moving there in a few months time and I know next to nothing about the city.
I will be working in the Perth CBD so we'll be looking at living pretty close to work, say within 2km or so. Happy to live in a unit but nothing highrise or too "trendy", basically I'd like to know which areas are more child friendly rather than for partying singles.
So far I've had a very brief look at Northbridge and East Perth but I really know absolutely nothing about these areas so any advice would be great. I've noticed redevelopment going on eg Claisebrook Village etc which is built on "industrial wasteland" - any past environmental disasters I should be wary of? Don't really want to live on a toxic dump, no matter how pretty or close to work!
Please restrain your urge to flame me, but I don't want to live next to a housing commission area, so if there are any particularly notable pockets around I would appreciate knowing about them, thanks.
I probably should mention we're looking to rent initially but will be looking to buy later on. Budget is ~$400pw rent.
Thank you
