Apartments in Queensland, Australia?

Question

I live in the States and am moving to Queensland, Australia. The worst part is I can't find any apartment websites, all i can find are motels, with huge nightly costs. Don't care where it is in Queensland hopefully Brisbane. And by the by can i have a rough estimate on how much apartments cost there?

Answer 1

Gosh this is difficult as it depends on where you want to live.  I agree with the first poster's idea about realestate.com.  It will at the very least give you some ideas on where you might want to live.  While looking at this site, also have whereis.com up so that you can pinpoint where in the city the suburb you are looking at is located (Hope that makes sense!).

Maybe when you get some ideas on possible suburbs, ask a quick question here about crime, public transport, infrastructure, etc. just to confirm that you've picked a good suburb not a cr*ppy one!

Rental properties are few and far between so I suggest getting onto this as soon as you know when you're coming over.

Good Luck and enjoy our country when you get here.

Answer 2

I guess you want a rental apartment which you sign up for a lease of 6 months at a time. Rental prices have gone up quite a bit in the last year  and the prices vary a lot. Depends how much luxury you want. I live on The Gold Coast  and brisbane prices are similar. An average 2 bedroom would be at least $300 a week maybe $350. http://www.realestate.com.au/directory/r...      If you are looking short term to start wotif.com.au  Once you are here there are many real estate offices you can go to.  Bring references with you.
