Editing Perth (section)

=== Great Suburbs to Live in ===
We often get asked which areas of Perth are good to live in. Perth is really spread out, and if you don’t have a car, you will want to live somewhere central, or close to a train station or a good bus route. I’ve kept that in mind when listing suburbs below – these are all pretty accessible suburbs. Then, decide whether you want inner city, the beach, the nightlife and maybe go check out the suburbs listed below and see which you like. To find out where these suburbs are, use http://maps.google.com.au/. 

Inner city (i.e. walk/cycle to city centre): Northbridge, Highgate, Mt Lawley, North Perth, East Perth, West Perth, Subiaco, West Leederville, South Perth.

If you love the beach: Fremantle, North Fremantle, Cottesloe, Mosman Park, Swanbourne – are all lovely, very close to nice beaches, are along the train line to Freo, and tend to have share accommodation. 

City Beach and Scarborough are also great and on the beach, accessible by bus.

University Areas (so probably lots of student share houses): University of WA - Nedlands, Shenton Park; Curtin Uni – Bentley, Como, Victoria Park, East Vic Park; Murdoch Uni – Murdoch (quite a ways from city centre), ECU Mt Lawley – Mt Lawley, Highgate.

Fun areas (i.e. good night life and café strips etc): Fremantle, Northbridge, Highgate, Mt Lawley, North Perth, Maylands, Subiaco, Leederville, Como, Vic Park.
