got a job in the CBD, is renting accommodation reasonable near by?

Depends on what your definition of reasonable is!
How many bedrooms do you want, how far are you prepared to travel, how much do you want to spend, do you want furnished?

I suggest trying a search on BE as this comes up a bit, however the following should help a bit:

www.domain.com.au and www.realestate.com.au - rental properties - will give you a good idea of cost

and

http://www.131500.info/realtime/newjourney.asp - will give you an idea of how long it will take to get from any given area to your place of work..

Hope you find something!

Are you single/married/with children, looking for own/shared accomodation? There's stuff here to suit every budget and lifestyle, so you should do OK.

There are studio appartments from $160 per week in and around Newtown (10 mins from the city) or luxuary appartments up to $400 a week.

I hate living on my own, so am sharing with folks in a great house in Erskineville for $150 a week, all in. Only problem I have had is that my name isn't on any of the bills for ID purposes.

There's plenty of stuff to rent around Bondi, but the transport links arn't so great IMO.

Post a bit more info, and I'll see what I can find out...
