Well let me start with some positives:
1. Quiet (except for the planes), green leafy and wide streets. When you compare it to its neighbour suburbs like Newtown, Leichhardt and Annandale .... Stanmore is a clear winner for its great family feel suburb.
2. It's got a train station and it's 13 minutes in train from city. 10 minute drive to city over weekends.
3. Close to airport and every happening inner west suburb.
4. Lovely family neighbourhood.
5. Great schools, child care and hospital
6. The historic look and feel is intact with minimum or no apartment blocks.
7. Once the second airport is operational, you can expect a serious capital growth in this area.

Some negatives:
1. Planes, if there were none prices would be higher by 20%......
2. A little more commercial shops would add to the glamour and feel of the suburb
