I moved here from other part of Eastern Suburbs 2 years ago and haven't looked back. I was told at the time I was overpaying for the property but it was just great value compared to what I could get elsewhere. You can buy a great federation terrace here for about 40% of the cost in nearby Surry Hills and about 25% of Woollahra. But it's just nearby. I can drive to the city in 10 minutes and can be in Centennial Park in about 15 minutes. There are bike tracks just nearby and plenty of cool restaurants and cafes 5 mintues away in Danks Street. If you like outlet shopping its right next to Alexandria and you can shop your heart out. Green Square train station is just two streets away - making it a breeze to get to the Airport, to the city, or into Olmpic Stadium for big games. Green Square will introduce enormous amenity to the neighbourhood with the introduction of more public space, parkland, grocery stores, cinemas and quality restaurants and retail. Many of the local homes are unrenovated right now - but this is rapidly changing. The locals are lovely here and there doesn't appear to be many of the social problems like neighbouring suburbs Waterloo and Redfern which have the public housing estates.
