We have found Gwandalan a very friendly community without the feeling of people being overly intrusive. It is a suburb that offers peace and tranquility and is a very pretty area on the southern end of Lake Macquarie. It is also located on the eastern side of Lake Macquarie which means its only a short 10 minutes drive to local beaches and 15 minutes drive to areas of Swansea and Caves Beach. It is also within 15 to 20 minutes drive away from Lake Haven shopping centre and 25 minutes from Tuggerah Westfields and 25 minutes away from The Entrance. The closest train station would be Wyee which is about 15 minutes away. You will find a variety of people living in the area from retirees, middle age working people, young couples with or without kids to weekenders, many have relocated from Sydney that have been searching for a different lifestyle and are friendly. It is also midway to the hub of Newcastle but yet far enough away to have the friendly atmosphere that the hunter lacks in and also housing affordability in Lake Macquarie area is also much more affordable than the hunter and you do have to be happy with where you live, which is what makes the difference in the personalities of people within the Lake Macquarie area stand out. The downfall for the area is the public transport connections although there is a service to Lake Haven shopping Centre and Swansea/Charlestown shopping centre.
