Point Piper water front mansion or Surry Hills in a big renovated warehouse, with the roof converted into a large outdoor area complete with infinity pool
What about The Spit Bridge area, beautiful mansions with view of Middle Harbour
Manly or CBD
I’ve lived in beautiful houses right on Pittwater at Clareville (next to Avalon), on the beach at Dee Why in the beautiful Northern Beaches and with a view of the Bridge at the waterfront at Neutral Bay Wharf…..and the best place we’ve lived so far – Brookvale! Friendly, down-to-earth and a view of Brookie Oval! It’s also the cheapest place we’ve lived in Sydney! So money doesn’t bring happiness! Hellish neighbour experiences in NB & Clareville!
The Rocks! Or Balmoral.
Rose Bay or Point Piper right on the water
one of the W’s, wolstonecraft or waverton or hunters hill if I let the money go to my head :)
Right here in Newtown where I live!
Leichardt or abbotsford or wareemba or five dock!
Camden, fresh air, taking you back in time, clean suburb damn expensive but absolutly gorgeous. Ahhh
Where I rent now Balmain, but If I could make some changes I would 1. Put a northern beach there 2. I would live in a mansion a la Vaucluse style!
Bondi, Bronte, Clovelly or Vaucluse – Right on the water
Darling Point or Edgecliff
Edgecliff or Potts Point
Newtown
Clovelly right on the waterfronr
Bronte or Elizabeth Bay- waterfront of course!
Collaroy – Edgecliffe Boulevards. The most amazing views of the ocean and there’s lake. 45 mins to city by very regular express buses. Great village feel
)
Elizabeth Bay – direct harbor access…giddy up
Springwood, in the Lower Blue Mountains. Now closer to Sydney by car or train. No smog (temperate climate), No high-rise, No MacDonalds & No Woolworths. Within a world heritage National Park.
all of them except liverpool
Wahroonga … right where I am at the moment (for the last 20+ years)
CBD, who doesn’t want George Street and everything else as their front yard?
I’d stay in my area and buy a big old Victorian house – Annandale, Stanmore, Petersham, parts of Newtown and Enmore.
Bronte or Circular Quay
I like where I’m living now: East Sydney
Paddington :) I love it there!
Oyster bay, Burraneer bay, Lilli Pilli
North end of Macquarie Street or Point Piper waterfront.
Love Manly
Avalon or Whale beach
Vaucluse. Close to everything Sydney has – the Harbour, CBD, Bondi closed by ..
north rocks / west pennant hills – the houses are amazing!
Right on the edge of Hyde Park in Liverpool Street – I love it.
As an ex-sydneysider, I have to say Newcastle. In Merewether or Cooks Hill, we’re on the coast, on the way up and the quality of life is amazing!
Tamarama!!
North Sydney. I live on the lower North Shore and it’s O.K, not as blissful as one might imagine.
Kirribilli, vaucluse, wollahra, balmoral, rose bay. Anywhere lower north shore or eastern suburbs practically lol
double bay or neutral bay … sigh the area is so nice… IF only money wasnt an objective…
haberfield, it has a great community feel, some lovely houses and close to the city not to mention the best pasticceria in Sydney
It’s got to be Church Point with a waterfront and of course facing the right way to make the most of the sun. Peaceful, near a NP and with a deep water frontage. Now that can’t be bad.
North Sydney, Wollstonecraft, around there. Otherwise, maybe Paddington
Manly or Paddington
Erskineville… it’s so damn lovely.
Waterfront in Oatley West, quite, peaceful, national park nearby and still in the middle of Sydney – close to everything. Wouldn’t move…
North Sydney
Central Business District or Paddington
