Botany Bay - any thoughts?
My partner and I are moving to Sydney just as soon as we've closed the business here in London hopefully before November. We're thinking about moving to Botany - can anyone help and let us know what Botany is like and if it's easy to get to the CBD and beaches from there?? Our other choice of area is Abbottsford anyone from there??

Having said that, it is probably the cheapest 'eastern suburb' and is supposedly ripe for capital gain over the next few years - or so the real estate agents tell us. It's a mixture of residential and industrial (a few chemical works plus a container terminal) as well as being very close to the airport. Always been a working-class suburb with mainly small weatherboard houses, but recently a lot of new townhouses have been built there and the demographic is definitely changing. It's very well placed for both the city and the beaches, so it's position can't be faulted. If you have to live in the East and it's all you can afford then it's probably not a bad investment. Otherwise, I'd recommend heading north to one of the real beach suburbs. |
