Where did you end up, even after research??

[Paula H]

Hi all,

For those who moved after researching, did you go to where you researched? or choose somewhere different after arriving?

No. On our recce we loved, and still do love Aldinga beach. We are now going to be renting in Christies beach though so I am a bit closer for when I start work. When I am working and we are settled I would still consider buying in Aldinga though.

Hi

We researched Aldinga, Christies Beach and a few area's close to the city. We actually ended up in Christies Beach, in short term rental which had had mixed reviews through books and other Poms. We are still in Christies and live a street away from where we landed two years ago today. We love it, the kids love it, two streets back from the beach. We will be moving out of the area but only because we want an old house with land and it has all been subdivided here. If we could get what we wanted though would definately stay here.

Are you moving out to rented accomodation or to buy? if you dont mind me asking.

We researched everywhere and shortlisted tea tree gully and mount barker.... Within a few days of arriving knew that neither of these places were for us and ended up in port norlunga and soon aldinga beach... X

Thats the thing.... im not sure if doing any research is going to be of value.
What made you decide on south?

[niknjas]

No problem. we are renting at the minute but have an opportunity to buy a property in Marino at quite a discount so too good an opportunity to miss out on (if it works out ok). Tenant in it at the mo so going to keep it as an investment property until we can accrue some more money and then look to move into it.

We researched Woodcroft for SS. We stuck a pin in the map and that was the area we focused on for research. We got On Arrival Accommdation in Paradise up north. We drove down to the south a few times and looked around and knew it was for us. Hubby found a job and we rented house in Morphett Vale before buying a house in Woodcroft.

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.

We researched woodcroft, happy valley, port noarlunga and mount barker, with the mount being top on list. However once we arrived in Christies beach, we visited mount barker and quickly realised that it wasnt for us, and that we wanted to be closer to the beach. In the Uk we always said that we didnt want to go further south than Christies beach, but once we saw Aldinga beach and areas, we loved it and are renting here at the mo. If we do end up buying we'll probably stay here or willunga/maclaren vale area. We love it down here.
