Best Place to live in Adelaide

[Dogwatcher]

Oh, yeah, there's about 10 pubs to choose from near the main street, we're 15 minutes from the Barossa and, if you can't be stuffed driving that far for your good plonk, there are two wineries in the hills within five minutes of my place.

Alberton house prices remain pretty steady. Some nice big old places around and a few on the market at the moment.
Budget - $450-550k

Downside is you may get booney as a neighbour.

No downside there. I'll mow your nature strip.

I nearly added one.

Fact is you could be forced to live in any area and if you stayed, would find yourself quite at home.

Working in the city, I wouldn't live in Gawler BUT can definitely see the attraction there. The Northern Expressway is awesome (I regularly use it to get to Gawler River). Being a short drive to wine areas is great. WIN.

Definitely, if you're working in the city and planning on driving, living out this way is a bit more difficult.
If I worked in the city, I'd definitely catch the train.

Love catching the Gawler Central.

Always an adventure...

It's a good train. Tone's always lowered once you hit Nurlutta Railway Station and all of the Salisbury filth starts to file on

Gawler and the surrounds is pretty good. Quite often in the Port for work and travel time of 30-35 via Northern Expressway. Still got that country type atmosphere and quite a good place for kids

That's what I'd post. Expressway is bonzer.
We're near the racecourse, within distance of schools and a new shopping centre is going up.
Five minutes to the Expressway and then 30 minutes or less to the Port.

Not far from me then.
School, train station and footy club about 200m up the road.

You're on the other side of Adelaide Road to me

[Jim05]

You're on the other side of Adelaide Road to me

The good side
Just far enough away from Trinity to avoid the traffic

[Dogwatcher]

Good call.
Although it doesn't impact me, I use Sunnyside Drive and those roads through there.

No necessary; never was a truer word spoken.

Looking to move back to Adelaide, married with 2 kids. Just wondering which suburbs are more suitable for raising a family. Potential job position in Port Adelaide. Willing to travel 35 mins to work. Cheers.

That's a good spot, don't knock it.

What you don't like Southern Cross flag neck tatts?

For a robbery, I agree

Gawler Central, pfft. Will always be North Gawler to me with the markets across the road

With the expressway it opens up all sorts of options for you. I'm at Modbury and I've been down the expressway and have made it to Pt Adel in about 30 mins but that tends to be either later in the day or on weekends.

But, travel annoys the hell out of me, so I'd live very local to work if I could.
