Where to live in Sydney
We'll do this by splitting Sydney into five mini-cities. We haven't made the split arbitrarily - each of these mini-cities is stereotyped in the minds of native Sydneysiders.
North Sydney - for rich snobs?
Western Sydney - for bogans?
Inner West Sydney - for the trendy?
East Sydney - for the pretentious?
South Sydney (Sutherland Shire) - for bible bashers?
Which of the mini-Sydneys sounded best to you?
Do you see yourself slotting in happily to one of these mini-cities? If not, don't worry. The folklore descriptions are tongue-in-cheek, although they do reflect some real Sydneysider prejudices.In fact, you will find wonderful leafy suburbs with excellent schools in the Inner West and you could have your house burgled by a drug addict in North Sydney. You can meet plenty of insular people in the East and you can find large numbers of highly cultured people in the West. You can also find childless atheists who talk non-stop about money, the stock market and house prices in Sutherlandshire.
In a city as large and diverse as Sydney, there's a good chance you'll find somewhere to suit you.
