A commute under 30 minutes by public transport places Sydney in a highly desirable position relative to most Sydney suburbs, and is typically reflected in property prices. A commute over 45 minutes is still manageable for many buyers but can affect resale appeal, particularly as remote and hybrid work arrangements continue to shape buyer preferences. Check whether your specific address in Sydney is served by a frequent-service bus or train rather than a peak-only service.
