Hi - I'm in the fortunate position of having a number of job offers in the mining/resources sector - all good jobs with similar packages, some in Brisbane some Perth. The final decision may come down to which city will give us the best lifestyle, 2 adults, 3 children.

We're kind of leaning towards Brisbane as it seems there are more of the older style properties we like at a more affordable price than Perth but pictures on the internet can be misleading.

Does anyone have any opinions?

Thanks
Atticus

 

I havent been to Perth but Brisbane has something to suit all tastes, the suburbs vary greatly and plently still have the older style Queensland houses.
Im biased,lol, but for me it would Brisbane!!!! lol

We love Brisbane but have never been to Perth so can't comment there! One idea would be to pm one of the members on here - MindariePom - who has moved here recently after 8 years in Perth. Good luck in your decision.

 

Hiya!
There is a fair selection of older properties in Perth too but it just depends on what other things are on your wish list - in particular, proximity to city/beach/parks/schools or public transport etc. Perth has a mixed bag of houses but nothing really comparable with the queenslanders.
Feel free to PM any other questions...
