It’s no secret that Orange is one of the most popular destinations for professionals looking to make a change of life. And while there are many reasons why Orange is their number one pick of regional hubs in NSW, we’ve listed the top 5 reasons below:

1. Connection to community, nature and a sense of belonging: Living in Orange brings with it a whole new meaning to sense of community. Everyone looks out for each other and it really does feel good to give back to your community and feel like you belong. With nature at your doorstep, you are also better connected to the environment and can feel the benefits of breathing in fresh country air.
2. Affordability & Space: Why live in a shoebox with no backyard or garage when you can live in a home with a backyard among the gumtrees, with lots of plum trees for the same price? The median house price in Orange is $ 360k, enough said. Also, you can choose from living in town and being in easy walking distance to work and your local cafe, to taking on a 10 minute commute while living on your own 5 acres with complete privacy and peace, or perhaps you want to design and build your very own new home on the outskirts of town?
3. Job opportunities: Never has there been so many professional job opportunities in Orange, opening up the potential of exciting new career options. But not everyone needs to find a new job when they move - thanks to technology, more people are moving to Orange from the city while keeping their same job but working ‘remotely’. And with daily flights to Sydney, you can still make that important meeting when need be.
4. Local interest groups and attractions: Wineries, restaurants, shopping, sporting events, festivals, farmers’ markets…there’s always something going on in Orange. Renowned for its local tourist attractions, Orange is a thriving cosmopolitan regional centre, offering new experiences to be enjoyed every weekend.
5. Balancing career & life  If there’s one thing tree changers in Orange don’t miss, its traffic. Easy commutes to work and school drop offs certainly helps take the stress out of daily routine and frees up more time for what really counts in life – spending quality time with family and friends. The professionals still want a challenging & rewarding job and this is led by being engaged in the business you join and your role. Balance in life  really is easier in Orange.
