We are a 30yo couple potentially moving to Wollongong/Illawarra region next year. Planning on starting a family next year too. Budget is $1m, 3br house (we love having guests stay over & I work from home, therefore need a home office space). Looking for freestanding house.

We have previously rented in Woonona for a few months and loved the beachy, north part of Wollongong. But with a 1m budget, buying house up north is not possible.

Priorities
- Nice area to raise a family
- Short commute to Gong hospital (partner works here)
- Walkable/cycle-able to train station/cafe/shops/restaurants (would be nice)

Which areas do the local redditors think we should check out?

Thanks
