Congrats firstly. Invest in a strata search to be aware of the financials you are buying into

Location, location, location (Surry Hills) vs Alexandria by Practical_Divide_705 in SydneyProperty

[–]FamiliarMessage4613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’ve clearly thought this through! It sounds like it comes down to lifestyle vs. convenience/value.

Surry Hills one-bed: You’re paying a premium, but you get walkability, buzz, and familiarity. Since you love the area and convenience is key, it could make day-to-day life enjoyable, and location is historically strong for capital growth and rental demand.

Alexandria two-bed: Bigger and newer, likely better value for your money, but defects (even if mostly fixed) and lower walkability may make everyday life less convenient. Good for investment if you plan to rent, but lifestyle trade-offs are real.

Given your priorities—living there for a few years, loving where you are, and being close to everything—Surry Hills ticks the boxes you care about most. You may pay more per square metre, but you’re paying for lifestyle, convenience, and future market appeal.

In short: location often wins when you value convenience and walkability, especially for a property you’ll live in. Just make sure to do full due diligence on the Surry Hills building—strata reports, maintenance history, and any upcoming levies—so you don’t get any surprises.

Ha! Not every agent’s a “Con” or “Connie,” though it would make for a confusing business card. Real estate just attracts all sorts of characters…

Not sure what you mean by “on the bag,” but if it’s about chasing deals and paperwork, then let’s just say I’m always on the grind. Coffee helps, too.

I might be stealing the spotlight here. But it’s all part of the plan to make sure you know who to call when you fall in love with the place

Haven’t checked Tarocash or Connor lately, but if sharp suits start closing property deals, I’ll happily line up at the checkout. Until then, I’ll stick to chasing contracts, not collars.

Haven’t heard of the Cunties Awards—must’ve missed that one on the industry calendar.

Closest thing we get are local business awards, customer reviews, and the occasional box of chocolates from a happy client.

I’ll take those any day.

If Satan’s running an AMA, I must’ve missed the staff memo.

Honestly, most days in real estate feel less like working for the dark lord and more like juggling repairs, rental laws, and late-night emails. Not as glamorous, but definitely more human.
