We moved from the constant noise of Honeysuckle and we’re never leaving The Hill!
Here’s why:
- The geographical centre of town
- Away from the noise of ship horns, helicopters and pubs (unlike honeysuckle)
- 10 min walk to three different beaches!
- 10 min walk to Darby St eat street
- 10 min walk to most restaurants
- 5 min walk to King Edward Park (& bogey hole)
- 10 min walk to Harris Farm
- Super quiet & peaceful with lots of greenery
- Beautiful heritage architecture

We love Cobbity st

I'm honestly surprised that Camden is so popular! The suburb is lucky to even be included in the catchment of greater Sydney - it is super far by train, car or anything other than helicopter. We wouldn't return if you paid us to live there...

Nice new homes for fairly reasonable prices....if you like a 12 hour workday then 'Spring Far' is perfect. Personally we had enough and moved to Seven Hills. The extra $300k we paid for our new property is money well spent, believe me. Imagine gaining 20 hours a week with your family.

Objectively overpriced for location and connectivity. Seems that the Hillsong congregation is the primary attraction. Look elsewhere for value.

Oatlands is a beautiful leafy suburb adjoining North Parramatta. The area has excellent local shops and easy access to Kings, Tara schools etc. also the properties are well maintained. However, there is several issues with Oatlands. Firstly, you will hear very loud trucks braking throughout the night even if you live up to 1KM from Pennant Hills Rd - it is bad! Until you live in the area you won't realise how frustrating it can become. Secondly, there is still a large volume of housing commission in Telopea / Dundas and it is common knowledge that Oatlands is targeted for robbery. Ultimately Oatlands is seriously overpriced you are paying north shore pricing to live in what is essentially Parramatta. If your children attend one of the nearby private schools it may still be a viable option though. Local tip: avoid Taylor's Real Estate as we have had no end to dramas dealing with them.

Baulkham Hills is a beautiful suburb if you're lucky enough to work from home. However, if you need to commute - avoid the place as there is no train line and the packed, slow buses are the worst! We moved to Seven Hills and couldn't be happier.

Seven Hills North represents exceptional value in comparison to the surrounding suburbs, many with inferior infrastructure (e.g Baulkham Hills or Winston Hills). You’re literally getting a house on a great size block 26KM from the CBD for the price of an questionably built apartment. In particular, the ‘Music Bowl' area bordered by Abbott Rd + Seven Hills Rd + Old Windsor Rd is a steal at $900k-1M for a house on a large block (600sqm.) The area has three amazing transport options: Sydney Trains provides express services from Seven Hills to the City in 33 minutes!! OR the new Metro is almost the same distance away as Seven Hills Station (not much parking though) OR my favourite option the 611 bus from Abbott Rd to Macquarie Park every 5 mins yes EVERY 5 minutes (takes about 20 mins to arrive.) We also love Seven Hills North Primary School and their great NAPLAN results. We've lived in Epping, Baulkham Hills and the North Shore. However, we much prefer Seven Hills North for the combination of green lawns, trees, quiet and convenience. We looked at surrounding suburbs like Kellyville then quickly realised that Seven Hills was in a much better location with superior infrastructure. If location is important Seven Hills is an absolute bargain and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a home in the Hills.
