Pyrmont, Sydney

Re: Pyrmont, Sydney
I haven't heard anything about a high crime rate in Pyrmont in the time I've lived here (since 2006). However I'm sure it's like anywhere else in that you are aware of your surroundings, don't walk down any badly lit laneways or streets, etc. Pyrmont is next to a suburb called Ultimo which has had some issues with crime at night but it hasn't spread up this way as far as I'm aware! I hope that helps.

Re: Pyrmont, Sydney
How much will be my average monthly expenses in Pyrmont, Sydney if Im single? Im gonna have free housing accommodation but will be paying for the utilities. The house is just stones throw away from the office so I guess transpo cost will be insignificant. So how much do you think will i be spending monthly on food and utilities (e.g. internet, telephone, water and electricity)? Thanks.

Re: Pyrmont, Sydney
You've got free housing in Pyrmont and you're worried about food bills? Come on!
If you're from the UK, prices will be similar - perhaps a bit cheaper - but that's a whole other thread. As you say you may not need transport to get to work but, personally, I would never be without a car - think of all the trips arouond Sydney/NSW you will be missing out on. I know people who live here, do not have a car, and in the 2-3 years they have been here have barely got out of the city. What a waste!
We have friends in Pyrmont and find it a really nice area - it's got a nice feel to it. And you can stroll across the Pyrmont Bridge in no time to the city etc.
Great area - go for it!

Re: Pyrmont, Sydney
Not sure how well the Search function's working at the moment but there are tons of threads on this.
I put my numbers on a thread yesterday, I think it was, started by somebody called caroline, and there was at least one other yesterday too.
