What risks are associated with living in a studio in eastern Sydney?

Hi
Thank you for reading my qustion.
Can you please let me know what risks and pitfalls are associated with living in an studio apartment in the eastern suburbs?

Is there any specific pitfall or risk or problem with leaving in a flat 20+ floor (level) of a building?

What is the usual rent for a furnished studio in the northern and eastern suburbs?

Thank you very much.
I wanted to add some details to the question, I saw some studio in the advertisement websites like www.realestate.com.au and the renting is about 350, do thye have some problem which has a cheaper rent?
an example of these advertisement are the followinglinks:

The other question is about the safety and well being of suburbs, I read that I should avoid western and southern suburbs and only try to stay in eastern and northern suburbs and other suburbs are not good enough or are not safe. I want to know whether I focus on eastern or northern suburbs?

Not much really. The only problem if whether you can afford to rent there or not as the Eastern Suburbs is one of the most affluent areas of Sydney. It is a safe area with great beaches and shopping centres nearby. I would be worried about taking the elevators, especially if you live on the upper floors because in the event of a fire (forbid it will happen), it may be harder to evacuate. You shouldn’t let that be a main concern though. Take the stairs whenever you can.

EDIT: In regards to crime areas, you do not necessarily have to spend big bucks to get a place in the north or east to avoid crime. Some places in the Inner West such as Burwood and places in the south such as Hurstville or even the Shire are safe.

  1. the rents are about $500 per week for both of the areas that you selected. Rents in Sydney are quite high at the moment and NOT looking to coming down and any time soon. The only risks and pitfalls would be if the elevator/lift broke down and you had to walk down 20 flights of stairs.

  2. Dont trip over near the balcony. Dont have large gatherings of people on the balcony, be careful carrying large parcels up the stairs
