The Property Professor's Top Australian Suburbs

Real estate expert Peter Koulizos' new book, Top Australian Suburbs, tells investors which suburbs across Australia have the best capital growth potential over the next 20 years.
The book outlines each suburb's types and styles of housing, and local and state government plans for improving the suburb and surrounding areas, but what makes the book so important for investors is that it focuses on suburbs that are currently undervalued and lists streets within the suburbs which will reap the largest rewards.

We have the top 20 suburbs from Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Queensland; the top two suburbs in Canberra and Darwin; and the top three suburbs in Hobart.

Here are Peter's top picks for best suburbs in Australia.
