gchapman1965 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hi, we come out in January and are looking at Carine or Duncraig, we have friends who have been there for 5 years and love it. We are trying to ideally get in the catchment area for Poynter primary school for our youngest who has friends there. It would be good to meet up when we arrive and also introduce you to our friends who have a large network of friends and a good social life. If you have just arrived are you in furnished short term accommodation? I am looking now and struggling to find such a family home short term in those areas until our furniture arrives, any advice would be welcome folks! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest angiemalc Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hi! firstly, it would be good to meet up when u arrive We had hoped for a short term rental when we arrived (3 months would have been ideal) - basically told we had no chance! The market is apparently saturated with renters at the mo! Very different from what i had been reading on realestate etc before we came over - thought we'd get what we wanted no problem?? We got this house in Duncraig - its not everything we'd have wanted but does allow dogs and has a pool but we had to rent for 1 year! Spending a wee bit over what we had budgeted as well. If you have friends already here you should maybe get them to view and try and secure somewhere for you on your behalf?? good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colbournes Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Just read further up this thread, whats duncraig like to live? Not sure what areas to go for and feeling like we are running out of time to get somewhere to live so just asking anyone who pops up about their area. Cheers Candice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest angiemalc Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hi! Duncraig is handy for shops, bus & train links, pub and park! Iv heard the schools are pretty good too, Downside is its not really walkable to the beach - its not really really far but dont fancy walking it in hot weather! The houses are a bit older as well I think, we have a rental here for a year, It wasnt as easy finding a place as I thought it would be - loads of people turned up to places we were viewing and I could feel the desperation!! Our house interior is circa 1970! but it has a pool and allows dogs - mine is coming out of quarantine on Hogmany YAY! If theres anything else I can help with (I have 3 months knowledge!) just ask. My friend has a house in Ocean reef - very modern - its gorgesous! but not so handy for things but very near the beach. angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colbournes Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Thanks angie. Ocean reef is nice most of the houses here in currambine are the same all modern. Seems rentals coming on to market has slowed coming up to Christmas but going to keep looking Candice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest marandpar Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hi Sandra i was getting worried i wouldn't find any one our age group on this site i was feeling very old at one point. We arrived this time last year and got straight into work so we haven't done much meeting friends it would be so nice to have a chat about how other people are settling in Perth. Weekends are best for us to meet up just name a date. Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
