Fuck yeah [[http://goo.gl/maps/pQQ74| public transport]]! What suburbs does this offer? High priority locations are major hubs, where many trains stop or lines meet. That's any station on the [[http://www.131500.com.au/maps/upload/docs/sydney-intercity-trains-network.pdf| cityrail map]] with a "bar" across the lines. In no particular order: * Hornsby * Epping * Chatswood * Eastwood * North Sydney * Parramatta * Westmead * Granville * Lidcombe * Strathfield * Burwood * Sydenham * Redfern * Central * Town Hall * Wynyard * Circular Quay * St James * Museum And now a giant URL from [[http://www.domain.com.au/Search/buy/?nosurl=1&mode=buy&&state=NSW®ions=Sydney+Region&areas=North+Shore+-+Upper%2cNorth+Shore+-+Lower%2cParramatta%2cEastern+Suburbs%2cSydney+City%2cNorthern+Suburbs%2cInner+West&sub=Hornsby%2cChatswood%2cNorth+Sydney%2cParramatta%2cWestmead%2cLidcombe%2cRedfern%2cDawes+Point%2cHaymarket%2cMillers+Point%2cSydney%2cThe+Rocks%2cCircular+Quay%2cCockle+Bay%2cWalsh+Bay%2cDarling+Harbour%2cEpping%2cEastwood%2cGranville%2cStrathfield%2cBurwood%2cSydenham&ssubs=1&ptypes=206,17,161,31&ptdes=Studio%2c+Apartment+%2f+Unit+%2f+Flat%2c+New+Apartments+%2f+Off+the+Plan%2c+Block+of+Units&bedrooms=%3E2&bathrooms=%3E1&to=450000&searchterm=Hornsby%2c+Epping%2c+Chatswood%2c+Eastwood%2c+North+Sydney%2c+Parramatta%2c+Westmead%2c+Granville%2c+Lidcombe%2c+Strathfield%2c+Burwood%2c+Sydenham%2c+Redfern%2c+2000&pois=RailStatn%7c1%7c2%7c1000| domain.com.au]] Westmead seems like a decent price range, up to about $400k and sorta close enough to Parramatta. Not walkable distance though, you'll be needing to catch trains to/from Westmead station. = Places to check out = A little scratchpad. If looking to rent with Adrian, criteria is: * About $600/week * Apartment preferred * If it's a house, almost definitely not with a pool * 2-3 bedrooms, in case his brother also moves in * 2 bathrooms * 2 car spaces * Close to public transport, major station preferred It would be nice if it's open plan, so there's room for photo studio setup and the like. http://www.domain.com.au/11-37-carlingford-road-epping-nsw-2121-10063445
