Maroubra is ok... There's a beach nearby. Dati may sikat na gang sa Maroubra na based... they call themselves Bra Boys... and medyo notorious suburb ito dahil sa kanila... But they cleaned it up... maayos na sya... If you need to be near UNSW malapit lang ang Maroubra dun.
Depende talaga sa tao kung mas gusto nya to live closer to the city... I would personally prefer to be closer to the city kahit na hindi na ako masyadong nagpupunta ng city.hehehe Important lang sa akin yung convenient and yung safety ng neighbourhoood... kasi minsan late na ako nakakauwi... Also, may mga tao na gusto nila yung vibe ng area... madaming restaurants, cafes, parks etc...
Pero may mga kilala ako mga nakatira sa west.. matatagal na dito... di na sila nagpupuntang city talaga... and they prefer to live out west.
Kung single ka, and mag start ka on your own.... siguro maganda din na you live closer to the city.. so you can get around and get to know the city muna... and then pag medyo matagal tagal ka na dito and naka adjust ka na... pwede ng lumipat sa mga outer suburbs... mas madali lang din kasi "maaliw" ng konti pag pumupuntang city.. nakakalungkot kasi pag dun ka lang sa suburb.
Also, being near a train station is quite convenient... kasi ang mga bus.. umiikot sa mga suburbs.. so it actually takes you quite a while to get to your destination. Except if you're planning to drive and convert your license... which makes this a non-issue...
But remember... pag gigimik.. you need to take public transport kasi iinom ka... hehehe
Also, with work.. syempre mas madaming work sa city.. but having said that, 7 years na ako sa sydney never pa akong nagwork sa city. I guess yung work mo.. depende din kung saan ka nakaregister na agent.. The agent looks after certain areas kasi... so ang work ko.. panay chatswood/ north sydney/ macquarie park dahil yung agent ko na masigasig ako hanapan ng work.. nasa north sydney dati.
kung may mga tanong pa kayo.. just let me know... happy to answer any other questions...
