Renting in Sydney - reality check
hi all. moving family to sydney in few months time and have looked at renting to start with in the Mosman area. Seems a nice +3 bedroom house is around the $1200-1500 a week mark!! Is this just a very expensive website I'm viewing or is that the current going rate?
Any other nice areas near Mosman/CBD you can recommend?

No, i'd say thats pretty average for Mossie. Your website is probably the most commonly used here. You can try www.domain.com.au but they pretty much have the same stuff.
Mosman has some of the most expensive real estate in Sydney. It is a very upmarket suburb.

Lane Cove, Chatswood (pricier but 30min type commute)
Epping, Pennant Hills, Hornsby (better value, further out but on train line)
These are only a few examples that I have come across and I hope it helps but I will watch this thread with interest!
Good luck with your move!!

Try areas such as Turramurra, St. Ives, Wahroonga, Lindfield. All on the North Shore train line (except St. Ives), but nice areas with good private and public schooling. Parking at train stations is free, but on a first come basis, and so quite as easy commute into the CBD. About 20 minutes drive to the beaches.
