With another child on the way we needed more room and less neighborly noise. It was either another Bondi unit with an extra third bedroom or a delpilated semi & I still had concerns whether that would satisfy the brief. Then we noticed the peaceful suburb of Little Bay. Lucky for us we did not have a strict criteria in regard to location or standard of presentation, we are the Gen-Y mid twenty type, but not the spoilt or fussy kind - we were flexible & opened minded.
We found a new 4 bedroom home for under the $1mil mark (incl. stamp duty). Best decision we ever made and I am now a changed man. I don't know how or why we tolerated the traffic every morning, the overly crowded almost parkingless shopping centres, the neighbours who all seemed to have an agenda to prove or the public transport that always took longer than on foot. Versus the Bondi/Waverley area, Yes, in Little Bay the drive to the shops maybe further but travel time is definatley shorter (traffic lights are a rarity here still), the neighbors actually care for one another & the kids are still able to play on the streets. Reminds me of the Suburb Bronte that I grew up in before the boom - simple, peaceful & with 'plenty of room to move'
