Menai, NSW 2234

I lived in Schofield Place from 2001 to 2006 and was a beautiful place to live. Had employment change so had to move, then move again shortly thereafter to Canberra and lived there for 14 years until I got a job in Sydney last November 2021 and moved back to Sutherland. One step at a time, will be back living in Menai. Reasonably quiet, clean and close to a lovely shopping mall.

To be considered as too far south west in the Sutherland Shire - a sensible mind asserts that the more logical option would be to go for the bustling likes of Miranda or Como, because Menai is just geographically disadvantaged.

A lot of housing commission you can see by the people at the shops. The schools are not that great a lot of people travel out of area for better education. Just look at the results they speak for themselves. Far away from everything. The quality of restaurant are not great at all. Poorly designed shopping centre two seperate areas to shop from not convient. Close to Bankstown. Shire attitude is not nice. It def has awestern suburb feels to it.

I have lived in Menai for the past 2 years. I love it. It is safe, community orientated and the streets are well designed. Menai Central and Marketplace have everything you need and there are many families living here.

Menai is a great place to live if you want to be close enough to everything. Close to the river, bush walking, beaches and climbing, it really is too good to be true. 50 minutes from Wollongong, 30 minutes from royal national park and 20 minutes to the beach. Great location and plenty to do and see.

We moved from inner suburbs and loved menai straight away. Its clean, beautiful homes.

There is plenty to do. There is bike lanes, bush walks to the rivers, not too far from beach. It is easy to get to work as it is resonably central to west and east. Plenty of shopping. No train station so no condenced housing and drug central.
Schools are good.

I love it at Menai, lovely street, lovely neighbours..great shops, great children activities..best place in sydney..!!

Menai isnt that bad but I definitely wouldnt want to live there. It honestly feels more like Western Sydney than Southern Sydney. New, cheap-looking houses which are very close to one another. I swear it is also much hotter than the eastern parts of the shire.

Menai is a great family friendly area to live with a great selection of homes to choose from. Mainly new style of homes as Menai is a fairly new suburb. The homes are all looked after, have lovely gardens and lawns, there are pathways in all the streets and bicyle paths linking the area with lovely parks throughout.

The Shopping Centre is great with all your needs there with a woolworths, big w, fruit shops, florist, butcher, deli and great speciality shops specialising in footwear and clothing.

Lots of great restaurants are situation in Menai and there is also Club Menai which has regular entertainment and a great bistro.

Fantastic schools to choose from, Menai has everything to offers, feels young, clean and vibrant.

Overall a lovely place to live and raise your family, retire or starting out.

Menai is a sought after family oriented suburb, many of the homes were constructed in the late 1970 and early 1980s.Unique developments include The Rivermount and Forest Glenn Estates comprising of resident only community facilities including pool, tennis court and club house.

We would live anywhere in the 2234 postcode it's just happen chance that we ended up in Menai because that was where the house was that suited us. Love the people the convenience the schools and the lifestyle. Safe, peaceful and quiet.

I have seen many changes in the area that have all been positive. Growth of infrastructure, population growth and development of residential and commercial properties.

Menai is a great place to work with many cafes, shops conveniently layed out. Our office is based in the Menai Metro and from there I can basically work to all amenities.

Menai is truly a suburb that has something for everyone in the family to enjoy.

For the kids there are numerous parks, play grounds and of course the skate park which they all really enjoy. There are also some of the best schools in the state which can cater to any Child’s needs.

There are a variety of super markets, shops, businesses and some fantastic restaurants throughout Menai plus some of the finest medical facilities.
