  Sydney is simply incredible! &nbsp;My brother and his wife moved there from the US a few years ago. &nbsp; Me and my wife finally got to go to Sydney for the first time earlier this year to visit them and it was just absolutely amazing. &nbsp; I would LOVE to move there and can&apos;t wait to go back!

  lived there for 10 years, they &quot;forget&quot; to mention the rain, humidity and bugs. Even 26C is uncomfortable.

  Great video and helpful! <br>Every city is expensive though, I’ve just gone from London which is even more £££ than Sydney! It’s down to what your priorities are! You can easily make it work by adapting and staying realistic! I know someone who commutes into town from the blue mountains and they’re happy as! Sydney is definitely worth it cuz everyone is different and has skills to offer!<br>It’s not dia like Auckland in Nz! Now that’s a place that you can’t afford to live in!

  I&apos;ve been looking at moving to Sydney and this is exactly the kind of information I was needing - thank you so much for this! Very comprehensive. Definitely looking for a beach lifestyle, but makes sense that it would be more expensive to achieve.

  I was born and bred in Sydney and loved it but left Cronulla in Sydney and move to Crookwell - in between Sydney (2 1/2 hrs away) and Canberra (1 1/2 hrs away) - last place to go into drought, first place to come out. Rich volcanic soils, top of the range so no toxic runoffs from other farms, 4 seasons, light snow in winter, becoming the new &apos;Bowral&apos; (upmarket) while Bowral becomes another Sydney suburb. Large blocks of land - new estates a minimum of 800m2 and up to around 1500m2, great community, great capital growth. Great blocks of land for around $250k

  Breakdown of regions of Sydney: <br>Major &apos;hubs&apos; - Sydney CBD, Parramatta CBD (Western Sydney), Chatswood (North Shore), Strathfield (Inner West), North Sydney (North Shore), Hornsby (Hornsby Shire), Epping (The Hills). <br><br>Inner West: located west of Sydney CBD. Has the reputation of being the artsy, hipster-esque region of Sydney. Bustling with life with clubs, cafés, boutiques and young students attending uni (whether it&apos;s USyd, UNSW, or UTS). Terrace historical townhouses are typical in this region. Use to be working-class in the 80&apos;s but is now gentrified to being more upper-middle class. The demographic breakdown is majority Australian of British Isles descent, Italian and Chinese. Example suburbs include: Newtown, Surry Hills, Marrickville, Strathfield etc.<br><br>Eastern Suburbs: located east of Sydney CBD. Very ostentatiously wealthy Upper-class area adorned with tons of private schools and waterfront properties. This is where the beaches are at. The location of UNSW is here (Kensington). Main demographics is wealthy Australians of Caucasian background, British and other Europeans. Examples include: Paddington, Darling Harbour, Vaclause, Rose Bay etc. &nbsp;<br><br>Lower North Shore: located north of the harbour bridge. North Sydney is typically the closest major hub, though this can be Chatswood if you live on the north areas of Lower North Shore. Upper class area adorned with waterfront properties, expensive homes, boutiques, cafés and some nice beaches and scenic views. It is here Luna Park and Taroonga Zoo are located. Again the main demographics is Caucasian Australian (of British descent) and Chinese. Examples of suburbs include: Northbridge, Milson&apos;s Point, Kiribilli, Atarmon etc<br><br>Upper North Shore: located north of Lower North Shore. This area is known for being a great area for families. It is quiet, scenic with great connection to public transportation, low crime and great schools private and public. It&apos;s a typically affluent, upper-middle and upper class region, where there are tons with lots of money. Expect to see large homes with perfectly manicured gardens with a pool and/or tennis courts at the backyard. Closest major hub is Chatswood and Hornsby, but there is also Gordon and Macquarie to go too. This is the region where Macquarie Uni is located. Demographical breakdown includes Caucasian Australian (of British descent), British, Chinese, Koreans and Indians. Examples of suburbs include: Killara, Turramurra, Pymble, Wahroonga etc. <br><br>The Hills: located west of Upper North Shore, this region is a more recent settlement compared to the other areas mentioned. It was traditionally more middle class, though in recent years it has gentrified to a more Upper-middle class sort of region in Sydney. Like the Upper North Shore, this region is quiet and family oriented with great quality public schools, though there is less prestige, less private schools and less wealthier residents. It was originally a very-car dependent region, but because of the metro line, it has been more integrated into Sydney&apos;s public transportation system. Demographics wise it&apos;s a mix between Caucasian of British descent and Asians (Chinese and Indians). There is a larger Chinese and Indian presence here than other regions mentioned. Examples of suburbs include: Epping, Cherrybrook, Eastwood, Dural etc. <br><br>Northern Beaches: located east of Upper + Lower North Shore. There&apos;s a term we use in Australia that aptly describes them, &quot;cashed up bogans,&quot; which is basically our equivalent of money doesn&apos;t buy class. They have a reputation of being chill and quite affluent but at the same time a bit racist, insular and a proclivity for impropriety. Great access to beaches, though largely dependent on cars. Demographics is mostly Australian of British isles heritage, British people, South Africans and other Europeans. Examples of suburbs include: Palm Beach, Mosman, Dee Why, Manly etc. <br><br>Sutherland Shire (or just &apos;The Shire&apos;): This is the less wealthy equivalent of Northern Beaches. Great access to beaches (Cronulla beach), and the people here are quite chill but still insular and racist. The difference here is that there is less of an international presence - most people here were born and raised in this region of Sydney, as was their parents. Examples of suburbs include: Menai, Miranda, Kirrawee, Caringbah etc. <br><br>Western Sydney: Located more west than Inner West Sydney region, this region is like a different Sydney. This region is split between Western and South Western Sydney, though the vibe is similar. Working-class to middle class individuals typically of immigrant background. Parramatta/Westmead/Harris Park/Wenworthville/Minto is more Indian, Cabramatta is more Vietnamese and Lakemba/Auburn/Liverpool/Bankstown has a more MENA feel. Great place to try out foods from different cultures. Here, infrastructure is less developed (save Parramatta/Westmead region) and there are higher rates of crime (though again there are pockets where it is less like Parramatta/Westmead). Much more affordable than rest of Sydney and a more different cultural identity, as seen for instance in the Multicultural Australian accent dominance. Examples: Westmead, Auburn, Revesby, Campbelltown, Liverpool etc.

  As someone who lives in Sydney, ideally a person needs a yearly income of at least $60k AUD to be able to enjoy the lifestyle.
