Reviews of Engadine, NSW
"Family Orientated Suburb"
Engadine is one of the largest suburbs in sydney & offers fantastic value for money.
Surrounded by The Royal national park's Wallabies & Koalas yet within direct train ride to Sydney CBD or leisurely drive to Stanwell Park to get away from it all.
Engadine's fantastic community spirit is on display at the schools & sporting clubs in the area.
Offering one of the lowest crime rates in Sydney metropolitan area this is a fantastic area for growing families as evidenced by many locals relocating in the suburb.

"Great place to raise a family"
A community like no other I've seen, Engadine is fast becoming one of the Sutherland Shire's popular suburbs due not only to value for money for housing but the fact that everything a young family needs can be found here. Sporting teams, local schools along with a growing cafe & restaurant presence for the adults all within a short drive of the Royal National Park and a number of beaches where you can beat the crowds.

"Engadine"
Very family oriented suburb with good recreational facilities and schools It has a good community feel low crime rate and close proximity to the Royal National Park and south coast beaches. It only lacks a big department store and a movie theatre but they are close by anyway

"Good suburb for family"
I have lived here for 2 years. A peaceful suburb for family.
Engadine is close to Royal National Park. There are many bush tracks near Engadine so you can explore. You can visit the less crowded beach in the National Park.
It's close to the shopping centre.
Education is good as well. My son is happy to go to Engadine Public School.
New houses in Engadine are not many. Most of the houses are old.

"The best suburb for families in the Shire!"
We moved here a year ago and it has been fantastic. Unbeatable lifestyle, close to the city, beaches, national parks etc, great local School "Marton Public School" for primary and St John Bosco or Engadine High for High Schools.
My family couldn't be happier!

"Engadine is Booming!"
We moved here from Mascot and as professionals we needed to still be close enough to commute to work in the city and live in a safe friendly suburb. Engadine ticked all the boxes.
We have lived in other areas of shire such as Oyster Bay, Gymea and Cronulla and these areas haven’t come close to what Engadine has to offer.
Big blocks, shopping centre, RMS, great Schools, community spirit. I could go on and on what Engadine has to offer.

"Engadine - A friendly community"
A large family-oriented town with a fantastic community.
Filled with people in all stages of life.
It has several schools, Woolworths, Coles, Aldi, and a large number of specialty stores.
Services NSW and The Reject Shop will be coming back soon too.
It is only a short drive to Cronulla beaches and the beaches in the Illawarra area.
It borders the Royal National park and Heathcote National Park, so there is access to plenty of hiking and mountain biking trails.
A fantastic area for families.

"Isolated but safe"
Education not excellent, transport options aren't of great deal, as not all train services from Central go through to Engadine. There is an aquatic and leisure centre and it is in close proximity to beaches, but there are very scarce dining, shopping and transport options. Greater variety would be beneficial, especially in education and shopping sectors, because Engadine is a suburb dominated by families with children rather than professionals.

"Ideal for the young or growing family!"
Bordered by National Park and bush land, but still close (30 mins) to Cronulla or Wollongong beaches. Quick trip to south coast or city by train. Best value for money in the Sutherland Shire, all price ranges and types of homes available. Plenty of quiet culdesacs, new parks, Anzac Sporting Facilities with top notch pool and gym. Heaps of childcare centres and high quality public or catholic school options. A lot of shopping in main street, just lacks a "Kmart type" store, but that keeps it quiet and country feel. Downside is lack of parking around town, tight street now footpath has been widened, do sometimes get the smell of the tip and sound of the army firing practice, and also if you are close to the bush you could get rats or snakes :) Also, too hilly if you like a nice bike ride !!....but overall, low crime, and ideal for raising a large family !!
