I've just bought after spend a could of years living there. You've got a very nice set of shops on the west, endless shopping on the east, and a very long bikeway/path for those inclined to exercise. It's very safe as is evidenced by dry neighbourhood watch report that comes out quarterly and rarely reports anything apart from some low level break-ins with little stolen. There's a police station, plenty of parkland, good cafes, restaurants, doctors, pharmacies, swimming pools, fuel stations, and of course the highway going north and south. Superb spot.

I've lived there for around 9 months, and it is indeed lovely with trees, parks, horses, lakes, and it feels much like you're in the countryside. However the locals have resisted any development for better or for worse, which means there are few footpaths, poor transport, and nowhere you can buy food outside of the koala sanctuary cafe. As such you can find yourself driving in and out of the place an awful lot. It's a bit of a rich man's playground, with no shortage of multi-million dollar homes and expensive cars, and in many ways it can be quite snobby. But hey, strolling around the river at any time of the day is a pleasure, and the place is kept very tidy.
