Science fiction books sometimes describe a future where megacities will disappear and human settlements will become different. Serene villages, houses buried in gardens, clean streets, friendly people. All this is already today, in the Australian city of Adelaide.
Features of the capital
Life in Adelaide, the capital of the state of South Australia, resembles the life of a quiet green village, despite the fact that it is a center of education, research, and industry. The city in Australia was built by the Germans, it affects everything. Impeccably clean and even streets, clear, understandable signs, accuracy in every little detail. A variety of modern entertainment and spectacular festivals liven up the austere lines of the southern capital.
Adelaide City is connected to the rest of the capital by three bridges on the Torrance River. You will find high-rise buildings only here. The business center of the capital is rich in ancient architecture. Ancient churches and modern high-rises create an amazing, mesmerizing contrast.
Population and real estate
More than a million people get along in Adelaide, but life in the city is significantly cheaper than in other parts of the continent. Unemployment as such does not exist, because the capital, in addition to everything, is also the manufacturing center of South Australia.
Real estate prices in the city are not high. A three-room apartment is about $ 300 thousand, and a decent house is from two hundred thousand. The capital's real estate market is booming because Australia has barely been hit by the global crises. A penchant for entertainment, innovation and Mediterranean style, as well as a tradition of outdoor pursuits, provide a wide range of affordable, modern accommodations. Real estate in Adelaide is mostly home with well-appointed seating areas.
Emigration
Today, Adelaide is ranked in the top 10 cities to relocate. The life of emigrants is substantially supported by government programs and social services.
The easiest way is to fly to one of the major northern ports of Australia, and already by domestic airlines get to Adelaide.
Several airlines serve the entire continent: Qantas, Tiger Airways, Virgin Blue, JetStar. SA Railways will also take you to the southern capital from Sydney, Melbourne, Darwin or Perth.
