Being an older house the maintenance is starting to get big time. Roof appears to be leaking during very heavy rain in 3 places. Just had patchup painting done and pool refurbished. Appears the front of the property maybe subsiding a bit so again big expenses. Had the subsidence looked at ($500 later) and supposedly nothing to worry about....
Too far from work, most shops and neighbours are annoying
Littering, Drunks walk in our street at night, we can hear fights at night from the nearby road. The mailing boxes of our building constantly being opened by criminals who are after people's indentities or credit cards. There is a mentally ill woman who has been opening all the garbage and recycle bins and trowing rubbish everywhere! Our neighbours don't care about picking up rubbish or moving the bins to the street on rubbish day! Pretty much me and my partner have been cleaning up or moving bins!

the closeness to the druggies & night clubs at Kings Cross
To many Asians not speaking English. They don't know our rules - move over to the side on footpaths, don't spit, take your rubbish home. Most are excellent but there is a poorer person who is not familiar with manners.
Too noisy, buses and cars are constantly on the road and it can be very frustrating when you are just trying to have some downtime.
too much development and not enough general maintenance eg footpaths
The local bus service stops going one way for several hours
there are few job openings close by the suburb & makes going to work difficult.
People who do not like trees, dog owners who do not pick up. The reliance on motor cars. Traffic.

There have been sketchy incidents that have come up recently (eg. Apex)
I'd prefer to live closer to my workplace
crime, violence, drug addicts, alcoholics, abusive and threatening people causing trouble daily.
sometimes it can be a bit quiet & my actual suburb doesn't have a community feeling as much as it used to
Public transport is bad and peak traffic times take so long to get everywhere on the roads and freeways .
train station not enough commuter's parking and not safe enough to use after dark
tourists leaving their rubbish around, being noisy and disrespectful
rates are high in this municipality; high property prices
The fact that it will probably get busier.
The soccer club in the park makes too much noise.
That my house is falling apart as it is owned by Queensland Housing
It takes so long to get to the city from here
We live on busy road and trains are overcrowded
Surrounding dogs can often bark endlessly.
too much construction of apartments where developers are not made to build adequate parking causing jammed streets.
Small-mindedness. Lack of civic pride. Car hoons. Litter. Vandalism. The inherent soulessness of the outer suburbs.
It takes a long time to visit some of my friends and relatives even though they are only 30 or 40 km away. The roads are pretty terrible and the traffic ridiculous.
New neighbours turning residentially zoned area into an industrial zone and building without proper permits.
the lack of restaurants, exciting places to go out, the lack of quality parks
The airplanes that go over my house multiple times each day
Very few buseses (1 as a matter of fact), no buses on sunday, no shops or cafes, ferry only comes twice a day, very isolated, far from popular transportation areas.

Sometimes it gets noisy at night, especially with drunks hanging around
Homeless people on the streets, rubbish is not collectled regularly, too much night time crime
No entertainment services like movies nearby
TOO MUCH BUILDING ALLOWED,SUBDIVISION EVERYWHERE
bus sometimes need waiting too long, no train station, shopping mall is too small, lack of variety
Too far from CBD, poor entertainment facilities and options
The noise from pub patrons when they leave at closing time. The building works happenings everywhere. Illegally starting times. Pollution caused by building works. Council trucks noise at all times.
Noise, council rates and lack of parking spaces.
Few amenities such as laundromats and shoe repair
getting expensive and the rate of development is ruining a beautiful suburb and turning it into a dark and depressing concrete jungle. the buildings are starting to block the sun on the street. it's getting very gloomy
its nerve wracking in summer due to the threat of bushfires
To many cars the traffic lights and lack of roads in and around the town to get in and out, land prices to expensive,homes to expensive to buy so we can only rent.
Getting crowded. A lot of new apartments.
Sometimes feel crowded - have to leave the suburb to do groceries.
Building that occurs around where I live is noisy, parking on the street can be tricky
Its a bit far away from the City and public transport is not close enough. Have to drive first to catch a bus.
Lack of a local, fenced, off-lead dog park
Rising crime.. and increasing housing estates, the infustructure is unable to cope with the rise in residents..
Traffic congestion near shops, lack of parking, parking fees
No shops close by and therefore need to use my car to get to them
Rubbish everywhere, extremely bad and impatient drivers, traffic congestion.
Its too dirty and there are alot of dangerous things
Quite a lot of scary crime and bad people around
Ongoing development in surrounding areas leading to frequent noise
It can be noisy and privacy can be an issue! Expensive rent!
it is on a large section of land so I have a lot of maintenance
It's on a main road so there's lots of cars and car noise/fumes going past.
The premises is uninsulated and in poor repair.
Still 1k from buses, some dodgy building in our villa, not insulated
during school finishing times there can be a little bit of trffic
The house is old and lots of open spaces around as a result of which heating the house is expensive .
It's getting very congested very hay building we can't see the sun anymore
Crime, not enough for our younger population, Id prefer a rural or beach location, other then then its pretty good.
It is far from the city and is a lower income area.
It's getting way to busy with more and more congestion on roads
Chinese moving in with no taste or appreciation of our heritage
it is really expensive to buy real estate so we can't afford to move to a bigger house
Nothing am quite happy where I am right now.
Noise, people walking around through all hours of the night
the nationalities of some of the residentsnot too close to a train station
Noise of traffic and the many home renovations underway in area.
there is too much unappropriate development going on, units, huge houses, they are cutting down all the trees and the roads are becoming congested due to extra residents moving in from all the big development, roads being blocked due to construction of houses, units and apartments
the increasing amount of medium density housing.
Cyclists and skateboarders riding on footpaths in the shopping strip where there are already tables and chairs taking up half the footpath.
busy main road and road works currently taking place
The littering problems and mostly annoying children.
Six houses, ours included, have been bought by a big company to build a nursing home. Been given 12 -18 months notice
the traffic congestion on the M1 near Springwood
Distance from major shopping centre, friends, family, work
That I'm stuck living with my parents forever because I can't afford to rent by myself
PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC. Traffic hours operate at 7am-10am, then 2pm-7pm. I WILL NOT travel between these hours if i can avoid it. but if i do, its just a short distance to places i usually go between these hours such as work/ parents house
there aren't as many good restaurants as in other parts of brisbane
there is nothing I dislike about where I currently live.
They have cut down so many trees. All the new developments leave absolutely NONE of the old gum trees, so the few Koalas we had left are being hit by cars. And the tiny blocks and identical houses look so yuck! ...little boxes on the hill side, little boxes made of ticky-tacky. And they all look just the same..."
The only thing that disappoints me is the number of older houses being demolished and very large (often ugly) ones built in their place. We are losing the architectural mix. We are also losing the amount of land dedicated to gardens. The new houses occupy most of the land.
Distance from work and the public transport changes required to get there.
The weird layout of the streets. There's one main road in and out.
Not as close to city as I would like, Body Corporate fees, it's a townhouse so it's a bit small atm
only probably lack of good public transport
There is a round about that hoons used for a slidedrifting circuit
bit too close too neighbours would like more space
Too many high rise buildings going up, which will make it feel overcrowded, and not like it used to be. Changes the atmosphere of the suburb
its near a school and being elderly the noise of the kids I find annoying to me
the litter in the streets and barking dogs
graffiti, higher likelihood of crime compared to other areas
Not many jobs available in the local area.
Starting to get overcrowded. Lot more traffic on the roads and general living conditions have gone down somewhat.
I don't feel safe in the community. I feel that someone is always watching me and although I have lived in the area for 6 years I still don't know whats around as I am too afraid to search.
mold/ mildew in house, and problems with aerial connections
As i'm on the corner of Chapel St & Commerical Road, it can be noisy @ times.
The population has exploded and the landscape of housing is changing rapidly, even perfectly good homes are being torn down for multiple housing on blocks
There are some undesirable types that hang around on the street sometimes, traffic in this area is rubbish, the streets themselves are not kept clean and the traffic lights and crossings are badly biased against pedestrians
The predatory activities of "developers" in local streets.
I'd like there to be more trees and less traffic.
cost of public transport is very highsecurity is bit of concerned
Too many rental properties that people don't look after.
a long way from the shops not much transport in the evening
the current hoon behavior at night by young drivers
Build up of traffic, poor development decisions from council, lack of secondary school choices
Just mainly the traffic congestions in the morning it's getting busy and busy on the roads
Traffic is on the increase with no plan in sight
Traffic congestion since close enough to city centre
not much land and neighbours are quite close
The crime rate has progressively risen over the last 10 years. It's not a safe place to live anymore.
when there's no parking available at the shops
the trees are beautiful - sorry can you please swap this for like
Utilities, in terms of electricity we get power outages during storms. Worst is the internet, copper wires are terrible
The fact that the local council don't do nearly enough to keep the area clean. I'm often disgusted by the rubbish that is left lying around and the only time council clears it away is when someone rings them and complains about it, then they go out and collect once only, until the next time. Our shopfronts need to be cleaned up as they mostly look dirty covered in advertising material (some excessively), their shop windows are rarely washed. I have suggested to the council that a clean-up truck c
noisy, close neighbours, lack of parking
Multiple dwellings being constructed on residential properties that used to contain a single dwelling. Far in excess of a reasonable quantity.
Can get quite dark at night with few roadside lights, not an area with good internet.
heavy traffic flow on main throughourfares
Too much traffic especially at peak hours making it difficult;t in getting out of ones driveway
area where developers like to buy rather than new familys/people moving in
it is also quite a lot to maintain a large section
the damage done to long term sustainability
Developed a lot over the past decade including building of shopping area so there's too much traffic and too many people here now
our council was forced to amalgamate and now we do not get the services we used to
More apartments and units are being built in this area, and are permitted to be built without adequate car parking, hence the residents all park in the streets. Councils should insist on provision of car parking, AND insist that residents use garage space for cars, not unused household junk.
I really like everything, however it takes a long time to go to the city.
The obnoxious, self entitled WASPs that surround me. The shitty drivers. People building McMansions on every other block.
no local bus runs on sundays and public holidays
the noise congestion large shopping centres (owned by overseas companies) too many motor vehicles, too much high rise residential buildings, over crowding, smaller residential blocks, houses are over priced, not a friendly neighborhood as what it use to be
The fact that houses on big treed blocks are being bought up by investors and the trees taken down and townhouses built, thus destroying the ambience of the area.
old house requiring major renovation, bordering rail yard and industrial areas
Too much noise, too much traffic and the bus service is too slow. Also, any available housing around here is way too expensive.
Houses nearby are being demolished to build apartments.
The distance from town and the crowded roads when we commute.
Too many young families are relocating to this area
some home owners down the road dont care all look after their house and gardens.
There are probably slightly nicer suburbs closer to more interesting areas (Middle Park, Albert Park.)
the distance to town, bus stop, train station.
The trucks that use the small street I live in as a shortcut,
The high rise apartments being built on both ends of Summer Hill well over 1,5oo apartments - so that is going to cause huge traffic problems especially in peak hours.We presently have traffic congestion at peak hours already this will get worse. Also very difficult to find parking in SH car park or in surrounding streets.
Bus is limited so you need to check what time it will be in the bus stop
poor footpaths and pedestrian crossings not programmed for foot traffic
it is a likely place to get what i want like infrastructure and shops
new housing on ridiculously small blocks and too many people shoved intaking over what used to be peaceful region
The teenagers that smoke and disrespect others in public.
It's becoming more populated with families with young children
its middle ground 0 for shops education and other modes of public communes
Local shops don't always have what we need. Mountains means poor phone and Internet service compared to more built up metro areas.
trains into the city for work are overcrowded and not enough express services. i shouldnt be on a train for 50 minutes in the morning - cut the commute time!
disengaged locals who are not community or environment conscious
The young in Guildford tend towards crime in many cases.
Close to a main road, lots of cars going past.
All the sub devisions that are going in. There are to many going in they are jaming houses in and making people live on top of each other all for a quick profit and not thinking about the future.
The traffic has increased, and more units being built.
An increase in non Australian born residents.
The immigrants in my block living there illegally.
The building conmittee management & the strata manager
Population growth in some areas is outstripping the ease of travelling out of the area when we want to
There could be more places to shop such as chemists and corner stores and restaurants. Sometimes it can be noisy being right next to the railways, airplanes, and an ambulance deployment point, as well as living in a large apartment complex with thin walls.
Cost of living, ie rent.Housing ontop of one another
Expensive to buy a house, close to army barracks so can hear gunfire
There is not very good transport reliability in terms of busses. It's so close to the city yet the lack of transport sometimes makes it difficult to get there
The hoons, feral neighbors who cause trouble,
Most of the people who reside here are quite unsavoury, at best.
I live right next to a busy road and directly across the road from the train tracks therefore at times it can be quite noisy.
new developments - too many, means there is constant noise, traffic diversion and dust blasted into the air
That our neighbours are kind of mean and un-friendly
The floors need fixing, in the winter the sun does not shine on one side of the building, so very cold in the bedroom. In the summer the sun shines in the kitchen, making it very hot.
How the locals can be chaotic on occasion
dont like too much construction going on .. too many buildings in our area so all privacy is lost and its making this area more conjusted
It's too quiet and there isn't much to do
noise,light at nightbeing robbed every week(letterbox and or garage)
all the units that are going up around us
My apartment. Currently having problems with the landlord due to maintainence issues
Not enough of road-parking and children play grounds
its so far away from everything and the fact, that I will probably never leave
My one issue is the parking on my street as it is close to a station so some people use it all day however we are currently in the process of getting 2hr/permit zones so this issues is being dealt with. apart from that i have no other major issues with my suburb
Too much noise at times (parties, boot camps, construction, school kids) and it's been prone to graffiti and robberies etc house itself is in need of repair.
There is not a major supermarket within walking distance
Accommodation is quite basic. Simple modern spaces would work better. Something that is easy to keep clean. Washing machine and dryer are outside, would be good to have everything in the flat.
The fact that it is an apartment, and I am surrounded by noisy neighbours! The rent is reasonable for this area, but it's very expensive for someone on a pension like me.
I would like a little more help with extras like spring cleaning, gardening, etc.
Too much traffic and air is not too clean
Being so close to the hills, it's very cold at this time of year! In summer, threat of bushfire.
It has had a bad name for people breaking the law but quite frankly I have not been touched by crime. Our city Frankston has been trying to clean up the city area and are getting o top of these issues. We actually live in Carrum Downs which comes under the boundary of Frankston. Every city has their issues and my attitude is get on with living.
The situation of the house, the lack of transport, lack of shops
The fact that Nillimbuk Council is allowing over development of housing. every time a house is sold in come the wreckers and then there are 4 houses on the one block no space for parking and no space for a garden or children to play This is unhealthy, and unnecessary to crowd people in so closely.
Many homes are being sold and being replaced by units,which are spoiling the look of our area
encroachment of built up city like buildings
Nearly an hour from my kids. Internet is quite dodgy at times.
There is nothing in particular that I dislike
It's took quiet and I don't drive and its quite a distance to the local shopping centre or train station.

Surrounded by freeways, lack of parks/walking tracks
the people that smoke and the pollution and noise in the city
growing number of massive apartment buildings with little infrastructure being built to support the increase in residents
The flooding risk being close to the beach
Long distance to city, hoon drivers in area, lower house values, high crime rates, high insurance/vehicle registration rates.

Q8. What do you find most attractive about living in an apartment?
It is convenient. Close to shops, restaurants and public transport.
- No water bills- Complex which has a gym / pool etc is a good offering- If it has a balcony this is preferred as still have outside space
not having to look after a garden, and 24 hour security
It is very well laid out and therefore very practical.
Easier to take care of then a house. Things get fixed.
Our is duplex which I like the idea of bedrooms being upstairs. Generally I like apartments because don't have to mown the grass!
NO GARDENS TO TEND AND LAWNS TO MOW. THE BALCONY IS GREAT FOR GROWING FLOWERS
minimum maintenance (no lawns to mow personally)familiarity with neighbours
No lawn to look after, various maintenance tasks outsourced to building management.
No upkeep of gardens/landscaping, easy to look after.
Easier to manage, can be more community-focussed
Don't have any garden or external maintenance to worry about.It's safer than a house.Don't have to engage with any neighbours.
consistent temperatures, body corporate looks after maintenance, cheaper than a house
Being close to the city, a small space is easier to keep,
no mowing or gardening, onsite management looking after the complex
Someone is doing the maintenance work for you
Cheaper and less maintenance than a house.
People like me who live around me, security
Apartment complex, security, parking, shops
i don't really like living in an apartment, there isn't much choice if i want to live in the location i live in
I feel safer with neighbours close by, living upstairs less likely to be robbed.
its more secured , safe , and neighbours are helping
Not as expensive to maintain as a house would be.

Q9. And what do you find least attractive about living in an apartment?
- Can be small and cramped- Body Corporate
If having indifferent neighbours like in our case, no one cleans up the garbage mess or move bins! Luckily our neighbours are not loud and noisy. It could have been worse!
No pets or backyard. Close proximity to many peope
everything too confined I like open spaces
Too hard to get washing dry and too small and difficult with our dog
The walls are thin and can hear everything my neighbours do.
The effort to get downstairs just to get to the outdoors. Not having a back or front yard! Smaller space. Close living amongst tenants.
Idiotic people in other buildings around me who think they live in a nightclub
cramped, having close neighbours, no space, no garden, paying body corp
the apartment i stay in does not have lift
I miss my garden and being able to grow my own veggies ( i used to grow about 50% of our veg) I also get the shits at the noise from the neighboursI wish apartments had mo
Has to pay for the maintenance which I could have done it for a lot cheaper.
Having to put up with an odd bod sometimes
Less privacy, sometimes noise issues with neighbours, less space.
Some unruly/untidy neighbours. At times lack of privacy.
busy, loud, lots of people close together
not having a garage to park my car, having to carry shopping upstairs, having to take my dogs downstairs.
Unknown people wandering around the property

Q15. What would be your main reasons for moving to the Adelaide city centre in the next five years?
It is a city to retire, it is a green city not too busy
Sydney has just gotten to big and too busy
lower living cost, more sustainable environment, balance of life and economic development
very good value properties,pleasant outlook/architecture, good restaurant scene
I am planning my retirement and have many friends and business associates in Adelaide and I love the layout and lifestyle
May get transfer from company, or relocation
the lifestyle and the wonderful outdoors

From previous visits to Adelaide, it just seems like a nice, relaxing place I can see myself living in

Q16. What would be your main reasons for not moving to the Adelaide city centre in the next five years?
I have my family in Melbourne and love our city
Prefer some space around me and less bustle.
I would rather live in the burbs than the city centre
I'd love to move to Adelaide but I'd prefer to live in the suburbs.
I rather live on the outer of the city centre. its too expensive
I don't have any friends or family there and not sure about job prospects
I am looking to move, a change from busy city living. If I were to move to Adelaide, I'm not sure it would be the city Center!
I would move near the ocean like Victor Harbour
I'm a country boy. Retired and don't need the hussel of city life.
I have never likes living in the city centre
Because I wish to remain close to my children, whom I share custody with
too much traffic even there would like to live out in the suburbs with amenities available nearby
would prefer to be out of the city (possibly in the hills). Have family out of the city - would be closer to them
shortage of parking and to far from the beaches
I'm retired and happy in the green wedge of Melbourne
I would not like to live in ANY city centre! I prefer outer suburban areas.
Too expensive to purchase/rent a property. Would move a bit further out.
It is a beautiful city which is why I responded in that way, it is a city I like to visit but do not intend moving there for f

Q18new. What would be your main reasons for moving to Adelaide in the next five years?
I like Adelaide and the country around and as well the people
It has a better lifestyle and is an attractive place to live
Adelaide is more affordable compared to sydney and the city has more historic value because of all it's churches
I've visited a few times and I enjoy the peace and relaxed atmosphere. Lifestyle doesn't feel too rushed unlike Melbourne/Sydney.
lower living cost, balance of environment and economic development
slower pace, good people, a green environment, the hills just outside the City
melbourne and sydney are now overflowing and so the next natural selection is Adelide
I was born in Adelaide and most my family and friends are still live there
Cheaper housing and close to so many attractions
I'm originally from there. All my friends and relatives live there.
I think it's a little bit quieter than Brisbane but I think Adelaide is on the way up

Q19new. What would be your main reasons for not moving to Adelaide in the next five years?
Won't be in financial situation to do so. Frankly, too, at this point I'm just looking forward to getting back into Melbourne's inner city after dwelling out here in the outer 'burbs for a few years.
I will move to the city of Adelaide but I am not too keen to move out too far
Because I wish to remain close to my children, whom I share custody with
Cheaper housing, and I like the city and its people
Would prefer to live close to areas I have visited
I'm retired and happy to live in the green wedge of melbourne

Q20. In the previous question you didn't select Adelaide as a city you could see yourself moving to. What are your main reasons for not selecting Adelaide as a city you could see yourself moving to?
employment opportunities and location of family & friends
I don't know anyone living there. It is too foreign to me.
Just not an area I'm interested in going to.
We have all our family in the city where we currently live in.
Although I have heard some good things about Adelaide, it doesn't have am attractive appeal like melbourne or sydney
I basically want to live in Sydney, therefore I have no reason to move to Adelaide.
Current work in MelbourneFamily & friends in Melbourne
I lived in Adelaide for 5 years in my early 20's. I have no desire to live in a city and plan to move to a small town where the weather is warm all year round
Have lived there for 2 years as a child. Doesn't appeal to me.
i know nobody there,would have to start allover,find new friends ,new work,but i would have money in the bank,housing is cheaper
I have lived and worked in Adelaide in the past and enjoyed the people and their lifestyle and found it not stimulating enough for my style of life.
I'm happy in Sydney & have no wish to move to Adelaide where I don't know anyone!!
Not friends or relatives live in the State.
I don't have any reason to move their such as family or work possibilities
I won't move if I needn't. Considering my profession - geology & data analysis - I might be blown by the fate to Perth, with Sydney or Melbourne as a second option. I might move to Adelaide for retirement, because I liked living there, but there's little work for me now.
I don't know much about that place particularly due to there is no entertainment events that take place there mainly. Other than that, I'd love to take a visit and see what its like.
no jobs, poor economy, not much to do, low wages
its too cold to live but SA is my favourite state to visit
It seems a bit too quiet in Adelaide for me to want to live there.
would not improve my lifestyle enough to move to
weather, flat, boring, isolated, crap beaches
I visited Adelaide last year and it did not grab me as a place I could live. Apart from the great food and wine what else does it have.
a bit to quiet, not enough of a buzz of younger people and likeminded creatives
I have never been to adelaide. I dont know much about the city
Just don't think it has enough job opportunities
Not enough work, small population so very limited resources
i dont know the place well and i do not have any family or reletives living there
Last time I visited Adelaide in 2013 I found their public transport system to be needing improvement. As it has such a small population in relation to the larger cities most people seem to rely on private transport.
My husband and I are currently considering a 'tree change'. Adelaide doesn't fall into that category to me.
it is a great place as i have alot of frinds there
No friends or family there - also my industry is pretty small in that city, so the opportunities are likely to be fewer than in the eastern state cities.
I lived there for 4 years and the people are not progressive. I was in IT and I was told that women can only write report programs!! I had been designing systems when I lived in Sydney. When I lived there anything that was suggested to for tourism was knocked on the head by the people. They are progressive on social issues, gay rights etc but nothing that will increase growth in jobs. People in my industry had to leave the state for work.
I don't want to live in a city at all- big or small. I'm hoping to move somewhere more regional in the future. I like Adelaide's beaches and parks, but the city feels a bit 'dead' to me.
Too far away from where I am, all my family is here so difficult to move there.
Not sure it's just hit a city I see myself living and working in
Union dominated ineffective government. Lack of employment opportunities.Distance from family.
Adelaide is small and I would be worried about not being able to find suitable employment.
Too isolated from the attractions and close proximity of the large eastern seaboard states
very small city centre, outskirts are a bit too bland too my liking
while the thought of moving to Adelaide is attractive i am currently the sole carer for my mother and i would like her to be around a familiar area and close by to her friends so i can't see myself moving anywhere in the next five years.
all my family live in Brisbane and I would like to settle where they are
In five uears im interested in pursuing medicine in postgraduate. There are not enough universities in Adelaide offering this
Sydney has direct flights to more important business locations in Asia, better public transport, more courteous behaviour on the road, friendlier people, and a major concentration of financial services firms. Adelaide doesn't provide what I need.
Too far from family and friendship connections
I HAVEN'T BEEN TO ADELAIDE BEFORE SO NOT SURE WHAT IT WILL BE LIKE UP THERE ESPECIALLY I FEEL UNCERTAIN IF I HAVE TO MOVE AND LIVER THERE.WHEREAS I HAVE BEEN TO MELBOURNE SO MANY TIMES THAT I KNOW THAT THE PLACE IS GREAT TO LIVE AND PEOPLE ARE MUCH NICER THAN ONE IN SYDNEY.
Having lived here before I doubt if I would return
Have previously lived there and prefer a more vibrant live music scene
Possibly less job prospects. Less to do there. It's a great city to visit for a holiday or short break. Not sure I could live there long term.
It's a small city whereas I am from a big city. Nothing really attractive about it to move there.
Adelaide is the most boring city in Australia it has nothing to offer its to small and doesn't have any international sports like Melbourne get
I don't have any family or friends living there
At the moment I'm happy in Melbourne, where all my family and friends live...
I quite like Brisbane right now but I would consider giving Adelaide a go to live
I do not see any reason to move there, I've never been there and I think other cities like Melbourne are more attractive and have more on offer.
Not vibrant enough even the city centre. A smaller with more limited career opportunities.
Nice city but I think it does not offer what Sydney or Melbourne do.
Adelaide is a bit too quiet, and less shopping avaiable
My family is in Sydney and I will be retiring in the next couple of years
the heat during the summer months and the dust storms
To quiet, boring, not many opportunities
I have work and family and social connections in Melbourne.
I have lived in Adelaide and do not wish to live there again
I am happy here and have no intention of moving to another state.
too far from family, not as advanced as other cities
full of white christian right wing nutcases
I would not move to any other city as I am too old to make a new start.
It has periods of extreme heat that will only get worse with climate change, and the water is dreadful.
Don't have any interest in moving there. No family there
It's not an upgrade on Melbourne. I don't have friends or family there.
I can't see myself moving at all. I like where I live
It would be too far away from family, but we love it for a holiday
I really like Adelaide for a holiday, but do not see myself living there.
it is a city l would visit for a short holiday, not to live, it doesn't have the cosmoplian feel like Melbourne
I have not selected any city as we moved out of Brisbane 15 months ago and would NEVER go back to city living anywhere.
as a retiree i prefer to stay where i am, in a warmer climate and live near to where the medical facilities that we currently use, and would further require are all close by
I am living in the city that I want to live in
Its quite far away, a small city and not growing as fast as syd or Melbourne
It doesn't have the sorts of jobs im looking for.
I think it is a great place to visit but not enough of the arts, culture to choose from
I am too old to move from my current situation
I have retired to outer Brisbane. I have no intention of relocating to any other state.
The few times I passed through there I found it boring and slow. Also my husband and I have no family in this country and we have friends and support in the local community here and would be completely isolated in Adelaide. And the Yoga foundation we attend only has a small following in Adelaide, so there is nothing to attract us to Adelaide. My favourite city in the world in Vancouver in Canada and I would move there if I could get a
I would be living too far from my family
Too small and too far from family and friends.
I live in Melbourne. I have no intention of ever leaving. My social contacts are almost entirely here. If I had to move out of Melbourne I would probably choose Sydney or Adelaide. Sydney might be too expensive and too big. Adelaide is the right size and has an expanding tram line which I might choose to live along but it seems to have terrible heat waves in the summer, is dry and (as I recall) the water tastes terrible.
Adelaide is kind of dead city. Horrible place to live.
we moved from Adelaide to Brisbane 17 years ago and like the climate and job opportunities here much more
I have lived in Adelaide previously. I would probably move to QLD if I had a choice.
I'm not planning on living in Australia in the next 5 years
Don't have any family there, or any other reason to live there.
it is too far from my family and friends
It is too far away from family and friends
Don't know many people there and employment opportunities seem less pleasing.
Not intending to move and am happy in current location
Never been there, and it doesn't appeal to me as much as other destinations.
From what i have heard there isn't much to do there and its not a nice place to live
I wouldn't move. If I was going to choose a city to live in, Adelaide would be on the list, but I wouldn't move from where I live now - grandchildren tie me here!
I don't know much about it and have heard great things about other cities.
It's a blue-collar, metal-bashers' union town.
All my family, friends and work are in Sydney. There are no job opportunities in my field of work in Adelaide. House prices are not significantly different to Sydney.
The transportation isn't that good, the city doesn't have many attractions and places for leisure
I much prefer the climate in Brisbane. Adelaide can be too hot and too cold.
I originally moved from adelaide. it does not work for me in terms of weather, getting around, and things to do. also, the job prospects are not as god as other cities.
Not enough variety and culture (exhibitions, shows, concerts etc)
Poor employment, too hot in summer at times. Not so multicultural or vibrant.
Because I dont know anyone there and it doesnt seem like a city I'd enjoy living in
Used to live there, would rather move to Melbourne - seems a more interesting city (culture, sporting events)
I don't know enough about Adelaide I think it's a very nice city but I don't know enough
too far away from family, none of our family at this stage will be moving from NSW
its too far away from family and friends and also i dont know much about the lifestyle
Too far from children and grandchildren.
I don't think Adeliade is a big city compared to the rest, you always think about Sydney or Melbourne or Brisbane first
I feel as if the city isn't advanced enough
I have no interest in moving from melbourne...I have a good job and young grandchildren
I've travelled to Adelaide and its not my type of city. I find it boring and too slow for my lifestyle.
Not enough opportunities for employment Don't know enough people
I used to live in Adelaide, but moved to Melbourne to be close to my family all my family and friends live here
My health and the heat of the summer in Adelaide.
I used to live there until I moved to Melbourne in 1980.
I have visited Adelaide on many occasions both for work and pleasure. I find the city very beautiful but I could not live there. I would be to far from my family and the city does not grab me.
Its a geriatric farmThe young tend to leave
never really bean interested in going to adelaied
I'm quite comfortable in Melbourne at the moment.
i like living where I am friends, famiy, activities etc. too big an upheaval at 70
Too removed from family and I have bad memories from previously living there.
It's not a city I would like to move to because it doesn't offer as much opportunities, bad public transport and its a boring city
because colleagues have said it's very small and quiet unlike sydney and melb
not sure, I have just never considered it.
It's a bit smaller than I like - and I fear that the opportunities are not there

Q22. What would be your main reasons for buying an investment property in the Adelaide city centre in the next five years?
property values there should increase in the near future, the rental yield is attractive
cheaper as compared to other major city and i can aford only that kind of money
close for people who work near the city get a good investment
Cheaper than other main capital cities. Next door to Victoria.
It is somewhat cheaper compare to most states
will be a better investment for renting out property
Not a real reason just I think it's a good investment property
no reason, i do not have the capital to buy an investment home, and as a retiree wou
Adelaide is developing and growing so it only makes sense that investing in a property t

Prosperous community and boom in commercial activity
Simply for residential investment and diversity

Q23. What would be your main reasons for not buying an investment property in the Adelaide city centre in the next five years?
Because I'm just not interested in that area of Australia.
At this stage in our lives we don't have funds to invest in property.
Would love to as I can see the city changing and progressing (from last holiday there approx. 2 months ago), however, not in a position financially to purchase an investment property
don't like any cbd as a place to live. love suburbs
Not interested in buying an investment property
No extra funds. Worried about the economic future of Sth Australia.
finances not being available. not wanting to buy in the cbd
I prefer to own and live in the home I purchase, plus i have no intentions to have an investment home unless i live in that City..
Difficult to buy and manage from inter state
No interest in property market investment at present as I consider it overvalued and in the event of a labor election win the negative gearing changes proposed would in my opinion lead to an eventual 20/25%fall in prices.
Definitely won't be in the financial situation of affording an investment property.
It would involve a lot more travel than if I bought an investment property that was situated locally
Easier access from Sydney to Brisbane or Melbourne
i have no personal income so buying property is not a possibility for me.
No money, for this sort of purchase.. Can not afford it...
I cannot afford to buy an investment property so I wouldn't be buying one anyway.

My age but maybe we would look at an oppurtunity for grandchildren
A bit too far away from where I live presently
i want to buy a place near the beach to move into not an investment home
Don't intend to buy any investment properties anywhere.
In my opinion, buying a property interstate can be a risky thing to do.
I do not have enough money and if I did, it would make more sense to buy an investment property in the city where I already live,
I'm 23 and broke most of the time. This isn't a generation buying 'investment properties' because we have nothing to invest.
we wont have enough money as our investment properties are in NSW and Adelaide is quite a way from NSW and I would not be able to drive past every few months like we can in NSW and see what condition the people are keeping
would not buy an investment property anywhere
i cannot afford to buy an investment property
No interest in buying an investment property, especially one in another state
Not planning to buy ANY investment property, anywhere!
I am personally not in financial situation to take that decision but even if I was I would buy elsewhere probably north.
better investments on the eastern states
Unlikely to buy one anywhere, however if I was I might think about Adelaide.
I have plans to renovate my home, so my finances will be directed to that

Q25new. What would be your main reasons for buying an investment property in Adelaide in the next five years?

Lack of financeToo far away from where I live (making it difficult when problems arise)

No interest in investment properties even in my own state, too many problems

prefer to buy investment property in the eastern states

Q28oth. What other information source would you use?
I would visit different cities and suburbs before I decided on moving there.
General online information from blogs, news, etc...
I'd go to the area and scope it out on foot
visit the area if in local region or take a trip to visit and tour around a bit to get a feel for location
GoGo into the area that you are thinking you would like to live and speak to the population.
Council website for demographics of an area I was interested in.
See for myself, just to know an area and any changes that may be occuring in the future to that area
seek.com.au - no point moving without employment
Research the area via local papers and community.
local city council-local newspaper [must be local] to get the feel of the place
