Bechert Road, Chiswick, NSW 2046

Although it's like living in a smurf village with one after another apartment complexes, the area is still pleasant and quiet. If you want nightlife, you are close enough to the city. If you want restaurants, facilities and shops, there is Five Dock down the road. Lots of parks and great walks along the water. Most convenient thing is ferry down the road and city bus right on the door step. Granted it's only one bus line, so doesn't run too frequently on weekends or evenings but peak hour services are pretty good. Also lots of parking in surrounding streets if you dont get a garage/ car space in your smurf village.
