Caringbah

"Caringbah - the 'quiet achiever' of the Shire"

I grew up in Caringbah, and lived there until my early adulthood. I return there to visit friends and family every chance I get. I intend to return to Caringbah 'for good' one day, and will retire in the street where I grew up.
Caringbah was very 'suburban' in the 60's, 70's and 80's and became a desirable green space to move to from the mini-ghettos developing in the city's west and southwest. This resulted in an unfettered residental development close to the heart of caringbah (Kingsway/President/Pt Hacking roads). The suburb has recovered well from that hiccup and is now very much 'des. res.' as is shown by the stability of real estate values which have held their own and even risen during falls in other areas.
From the north side, heavily industrialised and with high-density shopping, to the leafy, green, quiet suburban havens in the south, Caringbah is everything you want to make of it.
Its not too loud, not too quiet, not too busy, not too peaceful.
I love Caringbah.

Nemesia Ave

"A fantastic place to raise a family"

Part of the late 1950's South Caringbah development, a quiet culdesac that has grown up elegantly.
Many of the children of families who grew up with the street in the 1960's and 1970's are either still there or are returning to "the street". Sophisticated development and upgrade of properties in the street has helped keep its "des res" status and appealing face.
It would be an honour to live in Nemesia Avenue.
