Agree with you on this. Chatswood is the traffic black spot.

don't want to live in lower north shore (on the train line). just so many people, especially atarmon and chatswood...

I agree. Pacific Highway is the worst road in sydney....
no right turn and full of traffic...
Let's hope for a 30% drop in the coming months, which is predicted by someone repected.
hundreds of mac ...

You haven't seen epping road at lane cove.

yes, to be avoided when possible. But LZ ask about primary school so it's hard to ignore Artarmon.

hard to say why primary school matters as long as it is reasonable.

I agree, from my own education experience, junior high school is a bit more important.
philgu, what is the benefit of having three kids rather than 1 or 2?

thanks in advance.

sweeet

第一个小孩用10的成本精力，第二个用8， 第三个用5，第四个用2，所以总共25<40，规模效益好

I have none. And for us, the only thing we might get if we have kids is probably child care rebate. other than that, don't think we can get anythng else.

Oh, if u enroll more than 1 kid in private school, u might get discount for the second and the third. But at $20k each per year, three kids still very expensive even with discounts.

Phi, the child care rebate policy might change later on. Who knows. I'm not expecting anything from gov now.

LZ, your budget 600-800K is for house or unit/apartment? If it's house, it might be too less. I help my friend to find a property in those suburbs with a land no less than 800sqm and not close to main road, but we could not find any under 950K so far.

May I know the property that you mentioned above? The price is unbelievable! My friend might be interested in it if it's not close to main road and not far from station.

低于70W的房子,在GORDON不管怎么样都有吸引力.

LZ给个连接,看来大家要抢了

I guess this is the one LZ mentioned.

Main road. No comments

这个可能不是

怎么看也不能说是"too old"

LZ说了，看得不是这个，这个他已近PASS了

我觉得楼主这个预算其实可以考虑在ARTMON买个好的3房TOWNHOUSE，老的HOUSE MAINTAINEN起来真的好费神费钱的。该地区靠近CITY,靠近北雪梨和CHATSWOOD，附近也有很好的学校。

yeah, that's the one.

The size of the land is big, but I guess maintenance cost is high and lots of effort is needed....
I am lazy and no time for this....
