ClaireChris Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 My husband has had a job offer as a Non-Technical Trainer with the following: annual Salary $82500.00 Super 9.5% $7837.50 company Vechicle $6000.00 laptop $2500.00 mobile phone $1300.00 training $8000.00 clothing $1000 total $109,137.50 the job is based in Chullora and Lidcombe. we would be really interested to have an idea to what this would equate to in take home money after tax etc. so we can make a decision on where to maybe live. We have two small children so in the first 18/24 months I would ideally not work as childcare would probably equate to my incoming salary. any suggestions on areas to live (on this take home salary) with 3 bedrooms (single storey) would also be helpful thank you :jiggy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With two little un's and new to area, I'd say not lidcombe, not Auburn, nor any of the areas immediately west of lidcombe, I'd avoid Bankstown and l would definitely not say Lakemba, Punchbowl nor Greenacre, unless you speak arabic. Ryde, Gladesville, Burwood at a push, but Five dock , abbotsford to the east would be nice, Parts of paramatta, even Rydlemere, but avoid villawood , fairfield and cabramatta. Properties will be cheap-ish, so best to look around and try a short let and see if you like the place/explore different places, I would not suggest taking a long term let say for example right next to bankstown airport because it's attractive. I've lived in the inner west suburbs of sydney (Balmain/Leichardt) and often arrived at bankstown at all hours of the day and I simply cannot recommend it.

xxlornaxx Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 not Burwood, I didn't feel safe there and if you are Caucasian some ppl and businesses will make it clear you are not welcome..just my opinion...have you been on http://www.paycalculator.com.au/ to check take home pay? its pretty accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought, in case you were planning on using the $109k figure as the gross amount to calculate the net amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised more companies don't offer relocation services anyway. Try and find out where other employees live. It might be handly purely for socialising purposed to live close to other employees, and it's certainly handy to live somewhere nice and also easy to commute to work from. There is a lady on PIO who has just moved to Penrith area - Glenfield Park (I can't think of your name, sorry! "Metoo?") If you listen to many people who post on PIO, then Penrith, and every other suburb more than ten kilometres west of the CBD is just another word for 'Hell", which in my opinion is complete BS, and I know from reading her posts that she is most certainly not living in "Hell." Also, (ethnic) "immigrant" does not equal "bad" when it comes to choosing a suburb. Sydney is a multi-cultural and multi-racial city. Here in Surry Hills my neighbours are from all over the world, Asia, SE Asia, The Middle East, Europe. I find it rather amusing that there is both a mosque and a transvestite brothel within 100 metres of my home. I don't think there are many homes at Chullora itself as it's mostly industrial, Greenacre maybe, yes, it's full of "Arabs." Lidcombe might be OK to live in. If there is one thing which does equate to "Hell" (maybe worse than "Hell" too) it is commuting whether by car or public transport, especially when it is hot and sunny like today. (I just went out to hang my washing and it was almost dry before I'd finished pegging it.) So, finding a place to live within easy commuting distance is well worth weighing up against other negative aspects of a suburb. I used to live in South Strathfield, Chiswick Street, off Coronation Parade, which always seemed to me to be a "nice" family-friendly suburb. I just Googled it and the distance is about seven kilometres. For good measure, a house to rent in Lidcombe came up too for $520 a week. You would not get a one bedroom flat in Surry Hills for that.

LKC Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 You could have a look at parts of Sutherland Shire. Menai/Bangor area to Chullora/Lidcombe would be maybe 45 minutes drive at a guess. Menai is pretty nice, family friendly and it has shops/supermarkets etc. Illawong is also nice, but I would imagine it is more expensive being near the river.

JockinTas Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I wouldn't choose to live in Punchbowl, Lakemba or Greenacre either. Bankstown's a bit iffy too. The other areas suggested are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARYROSE02 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I agree, South Strathfield is a nice family-friendly area, and there's nothing wrong with Lidcombe either IMO. 84 to 86 I lived in South Strathfield. Our parents helped my brothers and I to buy a house then my brothers got married. If only we had kept the house in all three names and when one of my brothers divorced his ex would have got a sixth not a half. All water under the bridge now. If only e had hung on to all our property in some kind of family trust. Tony Benn knew how to do it!

Yes @MARYROSE02 Glenmore Pk is a very pleasant area to live. A nice safe family orientated area, wild life in the reserve on your doorstep and a short drive into Penrith for Westfield shopping centre. Also handy for the Blue Mountains, Sydney Olympic Park and Wet n Wild. It is a bit of a drive to the CBD but by train you can get there in an hour.

Glenmore Park is about half an hour's drive from Glenfield - two totally different areas! Glenmore Park is at the foot of the Mountains.

inozwriter Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Try looking around the inner west there are heaps of nice houses. I used to love living in Five dock, great restaurants, leafy community, it is also between the west and only 10mins to the city. Balmain and Drummoyne are also nice, I found my place through the local real estate agent there http://www.wwre.com.au/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
