Thank you for your advice Jon. I’m finding it very difficult to try and understand the suburbs and where is best suited to our budget and needs. We are looking at Bella vista now. Just trying to see if they have descent primary and secondary schools.

Hi all, thank you for your help in advance. We are moving from the GC to Sydney ( originally from Surrey). We have two children aged 5 and 8. Good public schools are a focus, but so is being able to commute into the CBD. My husband will be catching the train every day so we want a commute under 1 hour. We are looking at paying about $1000 a week for rent- give or take. Just trying to figure out suburbs. Lindfield and Gordon keep popping up. We want low crime and a friendly place to live. A nice local strip of coffee shops etc would also be a bonus. I will be working at one of the nearby hospitals, eventually. Not that I’m the focus. Just trying to figure everyone else out first. Also how do you get into the public schools? Currently my girls go to a private school which seemed easier to access.
