Hi all
I have spoken with both expats and Aussies regarding places to live in Sydney, and have heard various opinions. Generally I hear that the East Coast/Northern regions have the nicer family communities, and due to their proximity to the beaches are the more expensive. Some parts of the inner-city or Western suburbs can be dodgy (according to some Aussies and news reports).
I plan to move to Sydney in July with my wife and rent long-term accommodation. We would like to live close to the beaches, but I'm open to living more inland if it's a nice family area. Safety and security are important as I will need to travel a lot for my job, so I want to have peace of mind that my wife will be fine.
I hope to hear from expats currently living in Sydney about your experience of the area you're living in. If you can recommend a particular community or for example a newer housing/appartment complex that would also be very helpful to us in searching for a new home.
Thanks in advance
Tony
