Where did you end up, even after research??

Researched south and west only as we wanted the beach lifestyle option. Have to say though once we arrived we just knew that Woodcroft was right for us. Moved down to Seaford as we outgrew our Woodcroft rental once Our youngest was born and couldn't find anything big enough at the time. Although we enjoy living where we do we can't wait to get but to Woodcroft.
Its very difficult to research exactly where you are going to live from the UK as you really need to be here and see things first hand.

Agree wholeheatedly about trying to research from UK. Things look so different once you get here and you need to be here to suss out really how far away from things you are. We liked Aldinga but I am not mobile so would have had problems getting to places I wanted. Where we are, I've got buses and trains for if I want to go further afield but my shoe leather does a lot of the hard graft and that's the way I like it. Seeing schools first hand is another deciding factor. Good luck with it

We started off in Glandore (Holiday Let) then moved to Aldinga Beach for 18 months. We liked Aldinga and the beach lifestyle but found the commute to the city to be too long! Only 45 mins but we wanted closer.
We have now landed in Flagstaff Hill where we love. Not too far from hills, beach or city.

I think the trouble is most places are nicer than England (in my view), places are bigger, your always near wildlife and nice beaches.

Having said that one mans junk is another mans treasure i guess and vice versa.

HI tina and Steve

do you mind me asking what it is that the norteast offers for you as we are in the same boat as Paula H

QUOTE=tina&steve;216061]we researched and was going to live south no matter what we were living by the beach. when we got here we stayed with friends in Wynn Vale (northeast) and stayed in the Northeast. still love the south and go down that way to the beach often but the Northeast offers us so much at the moment, still want to buy that big block of land down Normanville way on the beach and never have to work but thats just a dream......for now ;).

dont think you ever know til you get here. we looked up and down the coast and loved everywhere we looked.[/QUOTE]

for us it was work we both got work here altho we both work in jobs we can do anywhere, but mainly the school out son as aspergers and is a very good main stream school. but up here we have good shops the lovely hills and fantastic friends. not that you cant have all that in the south but to us it just suits our needs. takes me 20 mins to get to largs bay and 30 mins to henley beach and about 20-25 mins to the city. so we have everything on our doorstep :)

And the people are so lovely here, aren't they Tina?! (I should point out here that Tina and I have actually never met, but I think of her as a friend nevertheless, and we DO share a birthday!)

We knew my husband would be working at Golden Grove when we first came over here, I got a fantastic PM about Athelstone from a lady living there before we arrived, so we were always headed for this side of town - not regretted it for one moment. Great transport links, great choice of schools, great shops, lots of work, lovely people, lovely scenery, and so easy to get to everywhere from here.

Maybe I should cut down on the research and wait to see where my OH will find work, we both like north and south, east and west Adelaide lol. Thanks for all your views :))))
