Where is the best place to live in the Blue Mountains. Want to move to the area, not sure where.?
The cold doesn’t bother us as we live in a very cold climate now. We have only visited as tourists so appreciate some advice.
It would depend on what you are after the upper mountains Blackheath, Katoomba and Leura are much colder (average 10 degrees less than Sydney) they have a more alternate lifestyle (more tourists), magical rolling mists and cheaper property than lower down. The mid-mountains is brown and about to undergo major highway redevelopment, then from Springwood down the climate is nice (not too hot not too cold), there are a lot of commuters to the city, and access to more shops etc is good. It really is up to what you are looking for as the areas are slighly different.. although all are good.
