Nice places to live in Sydney that don't cost the earth?
Hi Guys,
We have two weeks booked in a hotel when we get to Sydney in January - which I am hoping is going to give us enough time to find somewhere to rent
Can anyone recommend places in sydney that are easy to commute from, has lots of nice area's to walk a dog?
We have been looking at manley which seem's really nice but if anyone else has any suggestions?
We need a house for teh dog that has a garden so they may or may not limit where to look?
Ta chelly
O my god not long to go now

Hi chelly, if you use the search function you should be able to find tons of info on Sydney suburbs.
Where will you work? If it's the main CBD, and you want to use public transport, try to be near a train line.
Some landlords don't allow pets, which may limit your choices. Offer to pay a pet bond, have any carpets cleaned when you leave, etc., if that helps.
As from Jan we will pay $640 a week for our tiny 2-bed, 1-bath cottage; it's a great location but I don't think the house is worth that much. (We're just biding our time until our PR comes through, then we will start to look to buy.)
