We bought our house in Glenwood 2 and a half years ago and have not looked back. Glenwood is a quiet neighborhood, perfect for families or couples buying their first home. There are plenty of parks nearby to walk the dog and playgrounds for young children to play.

While the local shopping centre at Glenwood doesn't have much to offer (Woolworths, newsagent, bakery, hairdresser, GP, Pharmacy, Kebab Shop and Asian Grocery Store), there is a plethora of major shopping centres and decent restaurants within a short drive. You can get to the city, Eastern Suburbs, Northern beaches very quickly via the motorway and public transport seems to be good (although I have never really used it!).

We have found a very good GP in Malvern Road where you can get an appointment with short notice most days and there are a number of specialists practicing at Norwest which is 5 mins down the road. Child care is not too hard to come by and the rates are good compared to other parts of Sydney that I am familiar with.

For the money we paid for our lovely house, and what we could get for it if we sold it today, we are very very happy with our purchase in Glenwood!
