A good place to rent in Perth?????

Question

I will be moving to Perth WA soon from Ireland to work for a couple of years. I will be working in the Joondalup area. As I have never been there, and won't be till I begin working, I was wondering where would be a good place to rent nearby?? Also, what kind of accomodation is available in this area and at what cost? I am looking for something comfortable (preferrably in a shared house), in an area where there will be something happening at night (bars, eating out, cinema etc...) Am I asking too much or is this possible?

Answer 1

Not at all, there is plenty of places in perth where you can rent a house or unit and there are plenty of people looking for housemates there, i moved from Perth early this year but i wasnt there for long so i cnt reli remember what suburbs are close to joondalup, but make sure u stay away from gosnells and armadale, they are not very nice places and full of drugs and crime but the rest of perth is beatifull and safe, for prices on rent tho, u'll be lookin at anything from $100 - $800 per week but thats ranging from the units to the luxurious houses

i think you'll love it, coz it's the most beautifull city in Australia

Hope i helpd and good luck :D

try http://realestate.com.au and you can search by map. The local paper is called http://www.thewest.com.au and Saturday's always has share housing classifieds.

There are some decent cheap backpackers all over the city to get you started, a dorm will set you back around $25AUD a night, although if you don't mind roughing it there are cheaper ones available.

Remember - you get what you pay for.

house prices are quite high at the moment. but you be sure to find something. joondalup not to far from great beaches and parks. bars and place to eat out are nearly every where so you wont have a problem with that. there are many good internet sites, try out this one http://reiwa.com/
