Guest Apple Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hi everyone... I'm new to PP and I am wondering if I can get some advice. Me and my partner are moving to perth in July and we are unsure where to look for a rental. We will be working in Canning vale and Welshpool. I have been advised to live south of the city to avoid a lot of the rush hour traffic, but after looking on PIO I am slightly worried about finding the right suburb, that's not rough! We are hoping to find somewhere with a bit of a heart with local amenities i.e shops, restraunts, parks etc. we are expecting our first child so I want to make sure my partner has things on our door step so she isn't isolated whilst I'm at work. I have been to Freo and loved it, but rentals are hard to come by and I was only there for a week so I haven't really lived it! I am hoping to keep the commute to Welshpool under 40 minutes and would love to be a short drive from the beach, if possible. If any of the above is slightly possible on a budget, as of October we will be down to one salary, so I am looking at nothing more that £600 a week. Please can anyone help, and hopefully tell me I can reduce my budget and get all of the above:) thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Canning Vale is a nice suburb - mixture of old and new. I live in Leeming - an older suburb but with a good community feel and amenities within walking distance, but also good public transport links. 10 mins into the city by train and about 20 mins to the beach.

elizabethkolo Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Canning Vale is indeed lovely. Nearby, Harrisdale is very new and full of young people. Huntingdale is definitely worth checking out. You can live extremely close to Canning Vale but avoid the prices that come with the Canning Vale postcode!

Peata Whyted Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Thanks for this post Elizabeth, we have been searching all over NOR & SOR, looked at 7 properties today, the last one being in Southern River, which I found as it's next to Harrisdale. We have put our application in for that house and hopefully we get confirmation tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
