we have been living here for about 3 years now, and the house size and proximity to the CBD and public transport are the only thing keeping us here. The houses are lovely, but they are all the same, the walls are thin so you hear the neighbors pretty clearly, and anything said in the carport (backyard) echos across the whole street.

originally it was a family street, lots of young families with kids which was great, but over a year, most of those families moved on due to rent going up, and all of the lovely 3 bedroom 2 bathroom townhouses have been filled with students in share accommodation. Every Friday and Saturday night there is some noisy party going on until at least 2, generally ended by one of the remaining families complaining.

not impressed. however, if the young families were to buy again in this street, it would again become a harmonious street with a great neighbourhood vibe!
