Hi Guys

Myself and my daughter are moving to Sydney in June this year, i am looking for any help that anyone can give on places to stay that are reasonable and anything else.

I am going to be starting Bankstown in July and my daughter will be looking for work, any hints/tips would be great as I've been looking at properties surrouding bankstown for something reasonable but have no idea what's close or what the areas are like

Thanks

Lorri

Sorry can't help you with Sydney but I will ask the intrusive questions others will need answers to, to able to better help you.
I'm assuming you have the visa sorted out? Which visa if I may ask? I'm, again, assuming that daughter is under 18 if you're not citizens for visa purposes? Helps us to help you with job ideas.
Good luck with the move, my apologies for direct questions, but the more info you give, the more we can help!

You may have different preferences to me, but I would live as far away from Bankstown as a comfortable commute would allow.

I was also curious about that. Possibly daughter is on WHV?

OP, Bankstown is one of the least desirable destinations in Sydney, I agree that you would be well advised to look elsewhere. But Sydney is a big place with hundreds of suburbs so it hard to even know where to start in narrowing it down. What are you looking for? Do you have a budget in mind?

Lorri

Yeah visas are all sorted I'm on a study visa my daughter is 20 and on why for a year. Budget is about 400 aud approx

Lorri

Yeah my daughter is on a whv I'm on a study visa I did have somewhere to stay looking for somewhere with an easy commute as I won't have a car. Budget about 400 aud for one or 2 bedroom place

Oh gosh. Why are you doing this? Do you really need to move to Sydney to take this course?

Lorri

I was coming over to study a new life a bit of a break and personal reasons but my place to stay has fallen through now.

Shot full of holes?

Lorri

Let's just say I've been let down and didn't expect it

If it forces you to look in a different suburb then it's a blessing in disguise!

I wasn't going to be staying in bankstown. As I don't know the area I don't know where to look that's an easy commute to and from the college there. I didn't plan on having to find anywhere now I've only got a few weeks to find somewhere

Good reason and why not. I could do it for you, but you won't pay me enough, so look up the Sydney Trains map and see where you can access by train, then go to domain.com.au or realestate.com.au and find places via the map that have convenient access by train.

Then come back and ask here what we think of that area.

My advice would be to look at the eastern direction of that train line rather than west.

I was looking at yagoona and up that way. Any recommendations
