Apartment hunting in Sydney Australia (w/ prices + advice) 🏡

[@amandasmith7910]

for everyone that’s confused: rent in most cases, is generally advertised (when on the market) and paid weekly in Australia !

[@lucylopo4169]

500 a week is an insane amount for an apartment tho

[@amandasmith7910]

@@lucylopo4169 unfortunately 500 is sort of the average price for renting a decent place in Sydney :/

[@lucylopo4169]

@@amandasmith7910 500 a week? So +/- 2k a month? That’s insane!

[@calicofishy]

@@lucylopo4169 As someone living in vancouver that seems very average to me. Actually might even be a good deal for how nice that apartment is hahah

[@rachiiesaysrawr]

@@lucylopo4169 500 is honestly considered normal in Sydney - it just depends if you want to live in the city or live further out which gives you more space, both will cost ~500 upwards

Hey lovely, north facing properties are actually the most brightest and hence, most sought after in Australia. Obviously, if there is a building blocking the outlook that is a different story ☺️

[@marky1486]

Totally. I have West-facing which is too hot in the arvo and before had South which was very dark. North is best.

[@RoseAllDayyy]

I agree, North facing are the best! But if she had other buildings blocking it there’s no benefit unfortunately. West facing is the worst in summer omg, way too hot.

[@endofyraaaaryfodne3389]

I feel your pain! My partner and I went apartment inspecting since Decemeber last year. Some where lovely and others really showed us the power of photoshop real estate agencies use. Honestly some where tomatoes vs potatoes in real live. We finally got our hands on an apartment we loved! Good luck with your new chapter of life with your partner! May the years to come be fruitful and amazing :)

[@Dhenzo]

For general good daylight north facing apartments are the best. West facing units receive the super harsh sun around 3pm to sunset which will make your room sizzling during summer. If you are looking for an apartment which is single aspect I recommend north facing units.

[@ohdayummitschristina]

One thing you forgot on the check list; “you need to have wealthy parents to pay for the rent” what is a 20 year old student doing to afford a $625 per week apartment. I work full time and earn above minimum wage and there is no way I can afford to pay that much on rent.

[@danaology.]

The apartment they chose looks like the newer apartments in Penrith. We lived in a “penthouse” in the new apartments in Penrith and it was amazing (saying it’s a “penthouse” because that’s what it was advertised as, but there were at least 10 other “penthouses” on the floor that were laid out similarly). It was split level on the top floor and so bright! Ours faced west, so we looked towards the blue mountains. If you’re looking to move out, highly recommend Penrith on the Thornton side. Our apartment was $540 a week and only moved out because we bought a house and the owners wanted to move back.

This was fun to watch! Always love apartment hunting! Prices defs do seem a lot higher compared to Melbourne (where I'm based right now) but yeah in HK the apartment rents were so insane too.

[@sarahs3752]

As an almost 40 yr old I wish I bought a house instead of renting. I thought renting was good at your age, but I regret now. Can't buy now with kids. Renting just helps your landlord. A mortgage is your own house and you can sell when you want.

[@maddyrevenge]

Most people in Sydney can’t afford to buy a house at any age right now - I’ll feel lucky if I own a home by 40 here.

@@maddyrevenge most people living in Sydney own their house. If you are poor or can’t save, move somewhere else

[@maddyrevenge]

@@DavidRamseyIII 40% of Sydney residents are renters. In some suburbs the % of renters is as high as 70%. This percentage will only grow as overseas investors and baby boomers continue to hoard property to benefit from negative gearing and the eventual sales profit as housing prices continue to skyrocket.

[@AndoCommando1000]

Strange to want west-facing in Australia. It get's super hot, uncomfortable sunset light especially in summer. Most Australians tend to want north facing light. Though obviously, highly local things might affect specific apartments or houses - such as if a big building is blocking the light from the north - as was the case here. Also, I imagine lots of expensive apartments on the north side of the harbour waterfront would actually want south-facing views to get in the vista of the harbour and central business district on the other side.

[@mtra.der.veler24]

You got the direction wrong in terms of sunlight. North facing is better than South (mostly dark). East gets the sun in the morning and West gets the sun in the afternoon (very hot during summer). East and North facing apartments are more desirable and expensive.

​@@amelilee78 Ohh I mean that makes sense but when I lived in East Asia there were like no apartments with carpet. It wasn't noisy at all - they were some of the most well noise-insulated places I've seen. I guess over there they usually have heated floors though so that provides enough insulation or perhaps they are able to use more concrete or something. I feel like if you're buying a decently priced apartment/house, it should be well-built enough to not have carpet like it's literally so gross 😭
