We moved to Hunters Hill after 9 years in Stanmore - we loved Stanmore but with a growing family we needed the space. Within 12 months we new more people in the suburb than we had in the 9 years in Stanmore. The sense of community is strong - people quickly new our kids and events like shool presentation day, Easter, Halloween and Christmas are enthusiastically celebrated - the mayor came to our street Christmas Party. It was such a relief to live in a street where most people have kids - we were no longer the odd ones out. We had to really adjust to letting our kids have the freedom of the suburb. Hunters Hill doesn't have a strong cafe culture, the newsagent closes after lunch and if you live on the penisular, there is no general store - but the trade off is space, freedom and peace of mind - the sort of life style usually only found in a country town.
