Hi all,
I don't currently live in Australia but plan to move back to live at some stage in the future (maybe about 3 years or so). I own a few IPs but am now looking to buy a family home. I am looking in the 1 million price range. I've been looking at Bondi and it looks like you can get an old house that needs work advertised at a bit over that price - obviously you're not getting a beachfront mansion for that. I plan on buying a house with reno potential with at least some sort of yard and good for a young family (no kids at present).
Does anyone know the Bondi area well? Alternatively, are there any other areas that people know of (maybe even Norther suburbs) which have a similar feel, but offering better value for money?
Incidentally i have never actually lived in Bondi, so i look forward to getting some responces from people who live there, how they like it, and feedback on alternatives.
Cheers.
