Sydney’s “second CBD” is a quieter, cleaner option than the true centre of the city that’s a handy – if slightly boring – place to rent, with excellent public transport connectivity and enough amenities to get by.
Sydney’s hub of bohemian dining & nightlife commands an increasingly-high sticker price, and gentrification has started to deprive it of its once-unique character.
High-density suburb boasts a convenient location for Sydney city commuters, but traffic & some crime issues make for some obvious blemishes.
An incredibly pretty, charming and surprisingly accessible suburb surrounded by waterfront with a likewise incredibly high barrier to entry, Kirribilli is as beautiful as it is out of reach for the majority of Australian property owners.
“Ersko” delivers the best of many worlds, despite its streetscape being somewhat cramped & with price having become an increasing issue over the years.
Busy central suburb offers a springboard to a lot nearby, but noise, price and traffic are all factors to bear in mind.
A lively suburb with an extensive, excellent food scene alongside pretty buildings are offset somewhat by a mix of high price, infrastructure and noise issues.
Wealthy, eminently green North Shore haven offers massive blocks, seclusion, and appropriately high prices to boot.
Beachfront beauty requires big bucks, as places as visually pretty & with as much going on as Manly in Sydney certainly don’t come cheap.
