I was born and raised in Flinders Park right along the river. It is a great place to grow up with loads for kids to do. The neighbours are friendly and alot of them have been there for years so we all know each other which is nice. Very welcoming to new faces although havent had many of late as no one wants to move :P
Close to the city, beach, various shopping centres and schools. To look out your window and see the lovely parklands is a treat. You get that country feel in the middle of suburbia.
I have a soft spot for Flinders Park and would recomend it to anyone.

I was initially sceptical about moving to the north as i stupidly listened to others rather than aquiring my own experience of the area and making my own judgement.
Starting a family and wanting to purchase are own home Para Hills was what we could comfortably afford at the time. I have now lived here for 6 yrs and in that time have grown to love the place. The part of Para Hills that we live in is clean and the people are friendly. There are ample shops near by and transport to the city is very convenient (i use it often to get to uni). There are loads of parks and schools and things for kiddies to do. If you wish to wake up to the birds chirping rather than tyres screeching then Para Hills is for you. It is the perfect area for first home buyers as it is cheap but not crappy (for lack of a better word).
I think Para hills is only going to keep getting better in time.
