What do people like (and dislike) about Adelaide?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Adelaide, they replied...

"Expats and digital nomads generally like Adelaide for its affordable cost of living compared to other major Australian cities. They appreciate the city's relaxed and laid-back atmosphere, which offers a good work-life balance. The city is known for its beautiful beaches, parks, and green spaces, which provide ample opportunities for outdoor activities and relaxation. Adelaide's vibrant arts and culture scene, including festivals, galleries, and live music, is also a major draw for expats and digital nomads. The city's public transportation system is considered efficient and reliable, making it easy for expats and digital nomads to get around. Adelaide is also known for its friendly and welcoming locals, which helps newcomers feel at home quickly. The city's growing food and wine scene, with diverse restaurants and bars, is another aspect that expats and digital nomads enjoy. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find Adelaide's job market to be less competitive and offering fewer opportunities compared to larger cities like Sydney or Melbourne. This can make it challenging for some to find work in their desired field or industry. Additionally, while Adelaide's smaller size can be an advantage in terms of affordability and a relaxed lifestyle, some expats and digital nomads may find the city to be too quiet or lacking in entertainment options compared to larger cities. The city's relatively small expat community can also make it more difficult for newcomers to connect with others from their home country or who share similar interests. In summary, expats and digital nomads enjoy Adelaide's affordability, relaxed atmosphere, natural beauty, and friendly locals, but may find the job market and entertainment options to be somewhat limited compared to larger cities," explained one expat living in Adelaide, Australia.
