Very happy living here.

I lived in Ryde for 15 years and was very happy there. While the lack of a train station seemed inconvenient at first, it removed that 'scummy' element you get with stations. I liked that as a lone female, I could get buses home late at night and feel perfectly safe. The buses take you everywhere, including to West Ryde station. There are some good restaurants (particularly like the Indian one just opened on Blaxland Road) and a great library. Holy Cross College is a decent school for boys (my bro went there). It's a shame the suburb has been overdeveloped. I prefer the old Ryde (pre new shopping centre).
