Westmead or Eastlakes

superufo

My wife and I plan to buy a property which is not more than 300K and we may change it to investment after a couple of years.

What we concern are as following aspects: transport, shopping,public security，etc.
The most important thing is that we have a new born baby. We want to give her a good environment to grow up. We are working in North Sydney and city and ideally a place to travel to central station within half hour will be a good choice.

We found Eastlakes and Westmead which both are convenient to city, and the property price there are very cheap. Eastlakes is close to City with high rent yield and it belongs to eastern suburb. It should have good incensement for land value in the future. For Westmead, we can also travel to city by train within half hour. Actually, it is far which is about 20km. The properties there are newer than those in Eastlakes and close to Parramatta.

We are not sure in the aspect of education for our baby in those 2 suburbs.

Anyone have opinion to choose from these 2 suburbs or any other suburb which is good to move in.
cant type Chinese because I am working now,looking forward to ZX's replies.Thanks a lot

How much is the rental for a two bedroom unit in Eastlakes and Westmead now?

Eastlakes区房产很难涨，多年前是这样，当年因为图便宜，还跟踪过那里的房价．最近几年没有注意有没有变化．那里穷人多，从shopping mall就能看出来．不过，我说的是多年前的事情，已经很久没有去过了．

相对来说，Westmead的印度人好过Eastlakes的中东人

大半年过去了，现在Eastlakes房价已经爆涨上去了，去年2房卖价在25-28万比较常见，超过30万的很少。然而现在2房基本都是近35万了，超过35万的也有一些。目前的涨幅在交通购物方便的区中，算是罕见的高了

现在基本上33W的房子都被抢空了。
出租的话，烂房子，350一周起租。
购物倒是相当的方便，也很便宜。

eastlakes 我住过几年，也没有大家说的那么差阿。我倒很喜欢那里。那里的人也不是那么差。很多留学生住在哪里。离大学也是2 站巴士，20分钟去市区。 我觉得很方便啊

Eastlakes 人口组成：http://www.investsmart.com.au/pr ... lakes&State=NSW

42% - Australian Born
5% - Greece Born
4% - Chinese Born
3% - Indonesia Born
1% - Turkey Born （算是中东那边）

近来印度人，泰国人有增多的趋势。

我觉得知名度不行占一部分原因，我的不少朋友都没有听说过Eastlakes。周围几个区Kingsford，Mascot，不知道它们的人没几个。
但是，Eastlakes生活交通确实是方便，所以现在这里华人也越来越多。现在的房价和租金实际水平比周围的区并不低了。只是因为在Eastlakes的Unit都是旧房，连近新的都没有，所以在中间价上还是差不少。

LZ最后买的哪里呢？
