It is not elitism, it is simple commonsence.

Thought you’d be in Caulfield or Balaclava.

Just like the Sydney Nth Shore and Eastern subs reckon Penrith and Parramatta is still full of convicts.

This is another on the contender list - but its in a dodgy part of town in that its right around the corner from reffo central but its only 4km from the CBD with the 59 tram stopping right out front:

They're both right next to major freeways as well which is convenient, in the case of Niddrie its near 3 major freeways - Calder, Western Ring Road and Tullamarine Freeway.

The only problem I have with apartments is that I always have two cars - one would have to live out on the street or I'd have to kick in for another car parking spot.

What's the Body Corporate on places like them?

Don't know about Franco's ideal place but my old man pays $12 000 per year to live in Sydney's airspace. ! mad. !

[Citroënbender]

He’s getting off lightly. Either strata management run a tight ship or they’re deferring a lot of stuff. Wait for the $60K special levy...

No idea I reckon its going to be expensive in Travancore in the second link because the building is an absolute monster, has lifts and pools and other expensive crap to mantain.

But there's 400 apartments in the building.



https://www.altsienna.com.au/

If you go to that link, watch the video of it circling the apartment complex, theres 4 orange/brown ye olde apartment complexes behind it across the footy oval - thats the commission housing Sudo towers of Kensington/North Melbourne.

As Vince would say....Ca Ching.

[FTE217]

yep its all about the ca ching ! bloody councils allowing developments the last 15yrs is criminal.
Dick Smith called it Chinese ghettos and every major cap is going through it.
Our cities are changing for the worst - but who are we to protest, its falls on deaf ears.
An area I bought in 22yrs ago was a great pocket in Sydney, 15mins from the CBD, Homebush olympic site across the river and freeways within 10mins to go south west.
Ruined by developments.
The link I post was a 10min drive from my house, another similar development was built
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-.../10856398?nw=0
then another dev not far from my place introducing 10,000 more residents with the same infrastructure of the last 40yrs !
We signed petitions etcetc to no avail obviously.
What a bloody joke !
Told the Mrs's were out of here, sold up 3yrs ago, to an area I know no dev will occur near or around.

I concluded the gold coast hinterland is the place. Relatively cheap and one of teh most mild places in qld. Stanthorpe etc do get cold in winter but summer temps are really manageable on the GC in summer.

The problem of course is work. Some people can find work on the coast, lots don't and commute to brisbane on THAT road. Hence a lot of GC residents are retired and it all keeps prices down. I wouldn't live on the coast, it's a vice and bogan riddled slum with a few nice spots thrown in, but the hinterland is off radar and you could probably live nicely there. It's also a couple of degrees colder all year round.

People want too much for land up there atm but if I see the right block well priced I'll jump, build and settle. It will be my last home so it has to be right.

what about port macquire? i have a friend there. and every time i visit, i,m walking around in stubbies and thongs.

I looked. The weather isn't much better than the GC hinterland. Unless you are right on the coast it gets hot as...

Port is surprisingly expensive although because of all the olds health care is no problem.

Western suburbs of Sydney:

I grew up in condell park. There is a huge cluster from my year on the central coast as you'd expect, but there is another on the GC.

Mm, Bankstown by the sea....

No one ever aspired to living in west sydney. You live there because you can't afford anything better. I came to brizzy in 96 with work because I knew as a single bloke I'd never be able to afford anything good in sydney, but there are reasons queensland is less expensive.

Coffs is a nice place, (In fact I should be there now) mild weather most of the time. I was going to base the boat there on the marina (cheap as chips) until half of it was destroyed in that freak storm a little while back.
In summer Urunga (20km south) on the coast can be 23 deg while up at Bellingen 25km inland it can be 38.

Got me thinking for Franco, how about a nice superyacht berthed in Docklands, water, electrics, wifi included,easy walk to casino, cafes aplenty and plenty of deck space onboard for the parties.

[smoo]

Franco, check out the south west WA.
From say Australind down towards Margaret River.
Good climate and lifestyle, nice beaches, cheap property, spread out population and it seems anything goes in WA.
Job market doesn’t appear as strong but there will always be work for someone with a trade and then there’s the fifo/dido work.
Oh, and it feels like Australia, not a mini Mumbai or Mogadishu.

Bunbury looks interesting - surrounded by water and a large population.

[MercuryT]

So as previous my hold settled real quick.

Not quite what I wanted but advice (not agent) was market will drop very soon.

Been busy packing.

My Daughters room the hardest as screwed over. See Marrital thread.

But I'm excited also for a new future.

Erase that knowledge from your brain.
I’ve been here nearly thirty years after living in every other state, the ACT and the NT and want to keep it quiet.
Total nimby behaviour of course.

Coffs has several micro climates, some mild some very hot, some just weird.

My ex's parents have a property at Fernbrook. You couldn't pay me to live at Bellingen, pretentious hippie sh*t hole. Dorrigo has better weather but it's a strange place.

But the mountains west of the goldie stay under the critical 30C through most of summer and are mild in winter. The Locals complain about the winter mornings but they are no colder than my place. When it gets bad I slip on my kmart trakkies and slippers, but that only happens maybe 7 - 10 days a year.

and an hour and a half I've got access to all my specialists in brizzy...

Room for Cav's bikini girls ?

You think Bello's bad, head up to Thora, turn left and down Darkwood rd for 20km, its like a lost world of Guru's, Hippies,Tofu and Love Ins. Cav you listening ?
