Hi all,
I am new to this forum but I think I should have been here a long time ago.
We have been thinking of buying our first home in Sydney and interested in Liberty Grove as I work in North Ryde and wife works 3 times a day at Sydney Uni and this would be convenient to both of us.
We have seen some good prices in Liberty Grove in last few months (450K for 2bed, 2 bath units) but still undecided and I will appreciate if experienced members can help.
1) There seems to be a lot of noise from the train line which runs past Liberty Grove. It is a freight line and trains run through the night. Is that a huge deal breaker?
2) Since the opening in 1998, the prices of units have not grown much. We saw a unit was bought for 260K in 1997 and now just worth 450K (13 years).
3) There seems to be a high strata fee (up to $1000 per quarters).
We are looking to live there for 2-3 years only and then upgrade closer to city and while capital gains is not an objective, we want to be able to sell the property easily when we move on.
Would appreciate help /advice on Liberty Grove!!
Thanks all
