We moved from the Eastern Suburbs to Greenwich. It has everything we wanted - views, parks, waterfront, sailing clubs, character, space and an inner city feel. There didn't seem to be many kids around at first but now the suburb is brimming with familys so the school ids a big focus point.

Night Life - there is a bit if you get involved see this clip at

There is a Ferry from Greenwich Point that takes 2 minutes to Balmain and 10 to the city - so Saturday night dinner in Balmain (or the city) is very easy option. Crows Nest / Lane Cove - are 5 minutes drive to both have a lot to offer. The Shell Terminal - which is not a refinery - has ships come in most days and transfer oil from Greenwich via pipeline to the Silverwater refinery - this is part of the working harbour in action / and adds character - I drive past the site to get home but don't live close to it.

The local shops are very good - the IGA is worth checking out if you are looking at buying as so often you can avoid the big shops. Did I mention the Baths. What it could have cute little pub where locals could meet .... but for now we settle for a beer at sunset by the sea or even go to The Cockatoo Island Bar - 2 minutes by Ferry.
