Trey, how many kids you have?
i dont have any im 24. but in ten years time i might have a couple
Trey, you are over complicating your situation. You don't even have a girlfriend, but worrying about the schools for your kids!
Situations change a lot. What you consider as an ideal house today may not cater to your needs in 10 years! With a house ideal for kids you may not even attract a girl who want a different life being DINKs!
The house you buy first is not going to be your house all your life. You will change houses. Buy one which is suitable for you and your girlfriend. Worry about kids when they arrive. If you plan to have two kids and end up having 5 (say quadruplets) what will you do with a house suitable for 2 kids?

The threads about where we'd like to live in 10 years. For someone who wants a family, they need to account for that as they'll likely have one by then.
The thread isnt about where our current or next house will be.
i have a fairly good idea of where i want to live in ten years time, i dont think im overcomplicating things just looking and planning for the future. Im working hard in my twenties so my thirtys are easier.
Oops, my bad. I was replying to trey in another thread as well and ended up chatting here.
It's great that you know exactly what you want. Best wishes !
Definitely downsizing to the Mosman waterfront as the summer house - leave the kids nowhere to go. Then head south for the winter.
You think a rail line will lead to worse traffic?? Interesting logic
Half the people start getting the train to work instead of driving in = double the traffic duh
If you were around 60yo (and called Tim54) I would guess you would say:
.....it has a 1600m2 yard and a 500m2 six bedroom three bath house........ Why would I ever want to stay??
60yo isn't that old. Unless you have some serious health issues I think you would be more than capable of maintaining the place. Otherwise it's time to start pressuring your kids to start helping out if they want to inherit it
the only problem I foresee are the stairs, I'll eventually need to put in an elevator
