"A great place to raise a family"
Moss Vale is a great little town in the Southern Highlands NSW. It is regarded as, after speaking to many locals as the 'gem of the highlands' and represents good value for home buyers. The little town of Moss Vale located around 1.5 hours south of Sydney airport is a character filled town. The town has two supermarkets, three hotels and a selection of specialty shops. I would reccomend eating at the Moss Vale Hotel, the local thai or "seafood affair" and try to catch some local music and meet some of the friendly people at any hotel in Moss Vale. Moss Vale maybe seen by some as the cheaper cousin to Bowral, (prices would suggest this) although after spending some time in the town, Moss Vale has a true spirit which sorrounding towns lack. The town has two primary schools one being a public school, which locals speak highly of , and a Cathlic school wich caters for students accross all of the HIghlands. Moss Vale High School is an agriculture specialist school. Moss Vale also has good employment prospects, rental returns are also strong. Moss Vale offers equal to or better than public transport anywhere in the highlands as it houses a main train station and bus service to the coast. All in all Moss Vale is a town full of friendly folk, I would have no hesitation in buying property ( as I have done) in this gorgeous town.

Can you tell me the good streets to buy on then,
What is Suttor like? We have retired, and would like to move out of Sydney. We like Bowral, but it is so xpensive.
Suttor Road is nice especially the end closer to the wetlands. The north side of town and the area around the high school is also very attractive. It depends what you are looking for. Neighbours can make or break my opinion of a place, but if you are looking for lovely scenery these areas are good. I don't know what the people are like there. Certain Bowral people joke about Moss Vale, but Moss Vale is a more down to earth area. Mittagong is somewhere in between, and seems to be popular with young families. We moved from Moss Vale five years ago to a northern village. We like it very much.
But do you actually live in the property you bought? What street did you buy in? Kings Road or Parkes Road? There is a vast difference.
