Living in Adelaide – costs, where best to rent… compared to Perth?
Author: admin // Category: adelaide real estateWondering what the cost of living is like in Adelaide, compared to Perth. And what are nice suburbs to live in so I can search real estate.
Looking at working in North Adelaide. And maybe going to UniSA.
We are a young couple no kids, prefer a cultured vibe like inner city and we’re foodies. Would want to be in an 2 bed apartment or 3 bed house, near cafe / restaurant / bookstore areas and especially anything with late night trading. Here in Perth there’s only a couple of suburbs like that, not sure if you have more in Adelaide.
Food wise, we mainly buy from markets and Ive been to the central markets. What are the costs per kg for bananas, avocado and tomato at the moment? They’re around $4, $3 each & $5-6 respectively here in Perth .
What is an approximate price per litre of unleaded petrol?
In general are people friendly to get along with? I’ve only known weird South Australians!! But maybe that’s cause they moved to Perth, and we are weirder 
Also what is the cost of public transport?
Thanks very much.
wow you don’t ask for much do you!
i’d suggest prospect to live in. it’s walking distance to o’connell street and melbourne street in north adelaide, so there’s heaps of restaurants nearby. also prospect road has some great restaurants and cafe’s. i rent a 3 b/room house for $600/ fortnight, but there are cheaper houses to rent in the area. it’s just walking distance to the city centre, but also has regular public transport to the city. otehr suburbs to try that fit your description near the city are norwood, unley, goodwood, north adelaide and surrounding suburbs. further from the city, any beachside suburbs have restaurants and cafe’s. henley beach and semaphore are probably the pick of them culturally speaking. the hills have some great places too. stirling has lots of organic cafe’s and markets and is only 20 minutes from the city center by car.
depending on where you buy your food from, bananas are around $4/kilo, avocado’s $1.50 each, tomato’s $4/kilo at the moment. you can get better deals at the markets in the afternoons though.
i don’t know the cost of petrol, i don’t drive a car at all i ride a bicycle. i’d assume it’s about the same price as perth though.
generally people are friendly. there’s the usual dickheads you find in any city, but no more or less here.
public transport is up to $30 a week for an adult to travel to and from work. that varies what time you travel and how far you travel though. student prices are half that.

This a realistic film animation of a terrific disaster resulting from volcanic lava flows in Los Angeles, California. A lava flow is a moving outpouring of lava, which is created during a non-explosive effusive eruption. When it has stopped moving, lava solidifies to form igneous rock. Explosive eruptions produce a mixture of volcanic ash and other fragments called tephra, rather than lava flows. Lava is molten rock expelled by a volcano during an eruption. This molten rock is formed in the interior of some planets, including Earth, and some of their satellites. When first erupted from a volcanic vent, lava is a liquid at temperatures from 700 °C to 1,200 °C (1,300 °F to 2,200 °F). Up to 100,000 times as viscous as water, lava can flow great distances before cooling and solidifying because of its thixotropic and shear thinning properties.

This GROUND FLOOR period listed apartment with a very large grand lounge overlooking the communal gardens and westerly towards Brighton. A substantial property with a stunning large lounge with the original 13ft ceilings and marble fireplace ideal for entertaining. The flat has 2 bedrooms 1 being a good sized double the 2nd is a reasonable sized bedroom. Completely separate kitchen nicely equipped at the rear (NOT in the lounge!) – very spacious internal hallway. Entry phone system. Great access as on the ground floor. Unfurnished. Transport is great, you don`t really need a car, although you can apply for a permit or use the easy pay and display outside, but with around 10 busy bus service at the top of the road buses arrive every few minutes. Council tax and all utility bills are at extra cost I`m afraid. Hove railway station to London is only a few minutes walk as well. The seafront and beach is just over the road as the flat is on the lower end of the Crescent. Call me the landlord direct on 07711 628159 or email me on stephen@strafford.co.uk. Property reference
