my two cents.
My oldies live (and i grew up) in Balhannah. the surrounding area of hahndorf, nairne, littlehampton, oakbank etc are all within 10-15 of mt barker and 30-40 to the city along the freeway.
With your budget you'll get into a big block (farm??) with a nice house. Also look at the striling. crafers and aldgate areas. more expensive but the right one gives you views of the city. Is starting to become blue chip there.
For all the other states say about adelaide, it's pretty cool if you stay away from the bogans up north, LOL. Hills will give you good locals and plenty of room to move.... plus some nice tight roads
