Top 10 Reasons To Live In Sydney

Sydney is one of those cities we all dream about at some point in our lives, and then there are those that take the bull by the horns and make the city their new home, leaving the rest of us behind to wonder what it would be like to live in Sydney… So, which one are you?

A City Surrounded By Nature

Sydney is one of the best-located cities in the world. On the New South Wales coast, it boasts beautiful beaches like Bondi, Manly and Coogee, while national parks are just an hour away. Providing waterways for sailing and mountains for climbing, these protected havens such as Blue Mountains and Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park provide nearby natural beauty from the hustle and bustle of the CBD.

Job Opportunities Galore

Australia may be renowned for solely seeking highly skilled individuals, but these individuals luck out when it comes to the job opportunities on offer in Sydney. Industries such as recruitment, I.T., trades and healthcare are constantly looking for skilled professionals to fill positions, often with sponsorship available.

A Great Place To Raise Your Family

The education system is one of the best in the world, but it’s not all about school when it comes to raising a family. Sydney is a safe city to live in with low crime rates, the parks are clean and spacious, there’s an abundance of galleries and museums, and the outdoor lifestyle means you and your children can easily stay active and healthy.

There’s Always Something Going On

Sydney is a buzzing city that will use any excuse to throw a party. From Sydney Festival to Vivid and the Sydney Comedy Festival to Stereosonic, there are huge annual events taking over the city as well as smaller, more local goings on including markets, music gigs, open mic nights and more.

Meet People From All Around The World

Sydney is a city that attracts people from all over, so you can be sure to meet travellers and expats from all different cultures and nations. As a result, there are global influences on the city from food and drink to art and events that will definitely open your mind.

Year-Round Warm Weather

What you’ve heard about the weather in Sydney is true. The city enjoys warm summers with an average temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, while the winters are mild at an average of 16. Being in Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are backwards to the UK and North America, so you really can spend Christmas on the beach!

The Outdoorsy Lifestyle

When Sydney’s bathed in sunshine, the locals really know how to enjoy it. BBQs on the beach, surfing, sailing, taking the gym outside, relaxing in the many parks, rooftop bars, rooftop cinemas, rooftop yoga…the list goes on.

The Food Is On A Whole Other Level

Say goodbye to beige food and hello to red lobster, bowls of acai and juices in all the colours of the rainbow. In Sydney, food is overwhelmingly healthy, nutritious and modern, but they also know how to do delicious Wagyu burgers and don’t even get us started on the martini espressos – yes, they’re good with a cocktail shaker too!

Waking Up With The Sunrise

We’re well aware that every country on the planet has a sunrise and sunset, but there’s just something about the ones in Sydney. They’re just really bloody spectacular.

The Work-Life Balance

Sydney’s a great place to live, so why would you waste it being stuck at work all day? Clock off at 3pm and head to the beach, spend time with friends and family and enjoy your new home. Because what’s the point in living in one of the best cities in the world if you’re not actually going to live in it?
