Small Street

"Friendly folks"

Peaceful street with good quality housing and friendly inhabitants. Lovely scenery and views, amazing sunsets and lots of birdlife. Just around the corner from one of the best public schools in the area, easy access to Narara Valley HS. Medical centres and major bus route just around the corner. So, highly recommended for seniors, more mature singles or families with young children.

Karabar

"Suburb has a bad rep because of one especially 'interesting' area, but there are some lovely parts"

Karabar is like the curate's egg, good in parts. I'd definitely avoid the top part of Southbar Road (near Karabar shops) and some of the roads coming off it are very 'interesting' too, but most other parts are either average or totally great. My road (near the river, off Dane Street) is a peaceful, friendly oasis, with lovely residents (a mix of singles, retired couples, young and older families, and young couples), mostly professional and houseproud. Property is much better value than over the border in the ACT. Local primary schools are excellent - I can't speak for Karabar High School but my neighbour says it's good.

Great for

  • Housing is good value compared with the ACT
  • Convenient for the ACT
  • Close to shops, schools, GP clinics etc (in Queanbeyan)

Not great for

  • Southbar Road (down to the Scar at least) is scary
  • Nothing much for younger people to do (but the ACT is easily accessible)
  • Public transport stinks - buses are rare and very expensive, so you really need a car
