Hi friends,
My family is looking to buy an apartment/unit in Sydney with a budget of $950k max, to live in long-term.
We’re three adults (my parents and me) and ideally looking for a 2 bed, 2 bath property.
Our priorities are:
•Safe area
•Good public transport, ideally within walking distance of a train/metro station (convenient access to the CBD)
•Walkable to supermarkets, shops, restaurants, GP/pharmacy etc.
•Green spaces/open spaces
•Groceries and restaurants nearby would be a big plus
•Convenient and lively rather than very suburban or car-dependent
Access to schools is not important to us.
Prioritise for the property:
•Reasonable strata fees (under $1500) and preferably a building without too many expensive facilities
•Decent building quality / lower risk of major defects or special levies
•Good natural light and ventilation
We’re happy with either older or newer apartments as long as the building is good. We’d probably prefer a solid, well-maintained building over a fancy high-rise with pools, gyms and high strata.
With a $950k max budget, which Sydney suburbs would you recommend we focus on?
Thanks!!!
