vickyplum Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Sydney is a huge sprawling area. Assuming you've got an idea of what you may be earning, use www.domain.com.au or https://www.realestate.com.au/ to look at costs in different suburbs. Do you want 1 bed, 2 bed. inner city, outer suburbss? Near a train line or near a particularly road / route? Beach side, harbour side? In the bush? Part of our decision on where to live, was to be near a train line and good public transport - we didn't want to be reliant on a car to do every single thing, although I know it doesn't bother most people. We also wanted to be near-ish to relatives - so ended up in the next suburb up from them. Makes the commute to the CBD, North Syd, Macquarie Park very easy, so not too concerned about work location at long as it's relatively sensibly located.

MARYROSE02 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 With my hatred of commuting I'd always recommend moving as close to work as possible, depending upon where it is, what it costs. My last couple of jobs have been in Penrith and now Parramatta both of which I have come to like. If I'd just been starting out on my career I think I would/could have moved to either to get out of the commuting. Penrith was worse being 55km from where I live in Surry Hills, not too bad if I got the Blue Mts train, 48 minutes but add on walking to and from the station, waiting 30 mins for the train in the evening, train times not matching my work start times, longer and more unpleasant trips on the suburban trains, all adding to the hassle. I could have got a decent place in Penrith, walking distance to work, saving two hours of wasted travelling, at least, and the fare to work, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
