Moving to Sydney with family – suburb help??
We are a family of four (Indian origin)- kids aged 4yrs and 2 yrs old. I am hunting for a suburb to relocate to, keeping the following in mind -
=> Proximity to school
=> Within 30/40 mins to CBD by train or drive
=> family oriented, (less crime rate)
=> Easy access to food and hospitals
=> Would prefer to have a golf course near by
I would appreciate if you could provide me with names of suburbs. I’ve been to Syndey in 2004 and barely remember the names of the suburbs.
Many thanks in advance to all those who reply
I’ve heard Blacktown is quite far – nearly more than 40mins, and you need to change trains to CBD??
Bugdet would be 400k (I hope!!)
Thank you all for the details. I’ve checked thru the website and in PARRAMATTA, the properties are actually valued at around 420k to 450k. Is the property market at an upward trend now?? Is the right time to buy now??
Unfortunately you cannot buy a 3 bedroom house in a good suburb within 40 minutes of the CBD (during peakhour) for $400k.
Assuming that you can’t afford to spend more money you have to give up on one or more of your other criteria.
House prices are down at the moment and the outlook is slightly negative. You should be able to do a deal of at least 5% discount to the asking price. Units/Apartments are cheaper but not much good for a family with young children.
The times I have given below are the minimum time based on the published timetable. The trains have a tendency to be late and it also depends on how close you are to the station.
Some suggestions are:
Liverpool – has a good number of Indian shops (groceries, saris etc), schools, a hospital and a golf course but has a relatively high crime rate and is about an hour from the CBD by train (forget about driving).
Parramatta – Around 40 mins of the CBD by train, has lots of shops, schools & a hospital, the golf course is a bit dodgy but there are some good ones in nearby suburbs. The crime rate is relatively high.
Hornsby – Lower crime rate, around 45 mins to the CBD by train, shops, hospitals & schools but no golf course (there are some good ones nearby though.
