Sydney Sider -BB'er! I need your help

[M D]

I live about an hour and a half out of Sydney (north West) and love Sydney as we are still rural but close enough if we need to get there.

45 mins by train to Sydney will give you plenty of options. May I suggests you get google map up and real estate dot com dot au to work out the rent prices.

Is there anything YOU want to be close to?

I can't really give places to look at, but I will say to avoid the south west, western suberbs. Places around Fairfield, liverpool, Yagoona, Yennora, greenacre. These are all places that are in the news constantly for all the drive by shootings recently. I live in the outer south west and it is lovely out here but to far for your needs.

Maybe places around Bella vista, Dural might be a nice area.

I can garuntee (sp) you won't get anything in that price range around bella vista or dural.
I live in Kings Park (nearly kings langley/quakers hill). its a nice area with lots of families around. there are plenty of 3+ bedroom houses in the area and in that price range. We are about 5 - 10mins max to the hospital and about 40mins to the city (Dh goes regularly as do I). There are some nice schools around also. Your DS is around the same age as my DD and I would happily send my kids to the schools here. It's an older area so lots of trees etc also.

Yeah, I thought as much, but I really have no idea, I just thought it was a good reference point to start a search and then move to were the price range fits

sydney is so expensive! i doubt i will be able to work so will be living on dh's wage - so couldnt afford to go over $600 - (gosh we have to sell our house here to even think about that amount of rent).
i was looking at quakers hills this morning and seemed afforable. there is a train line there?

I've lived all around Sydney and have family scattered all over - outer west, north-west, east, northern beaches. What sort of lifestyle are you after? North-west is good for young families, I'm not sure about rent but $600pw in that area sounds reasonable for what you're after. They only have buses, no train line, but you can get to the city on an express service in under an hour.

ah ok! im not sure dh will bus to the cbd but it may be something we need to look at. it will be a learning curve living down there (we vowed never to return to brisbane as it was too busy pmsl!!!!!)
