Jonzy's catalog estimates roughly $3,300/month all-in living costs in Sydney (about $2,200/mo for a mid-market one-bedroom), with safety scored 88/100, internet 86/100, and visa difficulty rated "Hard". Inner West beats Bondi for value: Newtown, Marrickville, and Enmore have the food, bars, and ferry/train links without the eastern beaches premium. Surry Hills splits the difference. Manly is gorgeous but commutes are long. Ferries are public transport, not tourism: Tap on with an Opal card and ride from Circular Quay to Manly, Watsons Bay, or Cremorne for the price of a bus. Sunday Opal cap is $8.90 for unlimited travel. For neighbourhood detail, cost breakdowns, and visa paths, see the full Sydney city guide.

Brunch culture and great Asian food: Bills for ricotta hotcakes is the cliche; Cabramatta has the country's best Vietnamese; Spice Alley in Chippendale does pan-Asian street food. Long blacks and flat whites everywhere.
