Barclay Road, North Rocks, NSW 2151

Known in part as the big dipper, Barclay road has poor reputation as a traffic corridor and accident hot spot. The Baulkham Hills end of the road is mostly populated with ex War Service homes perched on steep blocks on one side or in depressions below street level on the other. Towards the eastern end of the road are many privately built homes looking towards the Muirfield Golf Course. The area is disected by the M2 which passes directly behind the homes on alternate side of the road. Recent parking overflows from the nearby bus interchange has caused problems for resident trying to get out of their driveways. Schools are handy with both Muirfield high and North Rocks Primary only 10 minutes up the road. The area is bushy and green and there are bush tracks nearby for those willing to trek down the hill. A major shopping centre is nearby and buses pass along the road at reasonable frequency. Overall this is a reasonable place to live if you can put up with the traffic problems
