Central Business District or Paddington
North Sydney
Waterfront in Oatley West, quite, peaceful, national park nearby and still in the middle of Sydney – close to everything. Wouldn’t move…
Erskineville… it’s so damn lovely.
Manly or Paddington
North Sydney, Wollstonecraft, around there. Otherwise, maybe Paddington
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.
haberfield, it has a great community feel, some lovely houses and close to the city not to mention the best pasticceria in Sydney
double bay or neutral bay … sigh the area is so nice… IF only money wasnt an objective…
Kirribilli, vaucluse, wollahra, balmoral, rose bay. Anywhere lower north shore or eastern suburbs practically lol
North Sydney. I live on the lower North Shore and it’s O.K, not as blissful as one might imagine.
Tamarama!!
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!
Right on the edge of Hyde Park in Liverpool Street – I love it.
north rocks / west pennant hills – the houses are amazing!
Vaucluse. Close to everything Sydney has – the Harbour, CBD, Bondi closed by ..
Avalon or Whale beach
Love Manly
North end of Macquarie Street or Point Piper waterfront.
Oyster bay, Burraneer bay, Lilli Pilli
Paddington :) I love it there!
I like where I’m living now: East Sydney
Bronte or Circular Quay
I’d stay in my area and buy a big old Victorian house – Annandale, Stanmore, Petersham, parts of Newtown and Enmore.
CBD, who doesn’t want George Street and everything else as their front yard?
Wahroonga … right where I am at the moment (for the last 20+ years)
all of them except liverpool
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.
Elizabeth Bay – direct harbor access…giddy up
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
)
Bronte or Elizabeth Bay- waterfront of course!
Clovelly right on the waterfronr
Newtown
