"A lesser known suburb with burst of potential."
North Rocks is the suburb I would like to live.
I think it is very convenient to get to the city. At peak hours takes about 45 mnts to Wynyard by Hills bus from Barclay Rd bus stop and around 25 mnts at other times. It has a lots of good school such as North Rocks Primary, Muirfield High and close enough to Redeemer Baptist school, James Ruse High, Kings school, Tara school, etc. It has North Rocks Westfield, Golf Course, etc. It is close enough to Parramatta, but not too close. I think it is still cheaper than Carlingford with a better balanced demography.

"Awesome family suburb."
School: St John XXIII - Preschool to yr 6 & St Mark Yr 7-12. I know Preschool to yr 6 is a good school.
A lots of parks, walk/bicycle path, playground, basketball courts.
Professional lives in the area.
Nearby shops & dining: Stanhope Village, Parklea Market, Rouse Hill town centre, Ettamogah pub
Sports: Stanhope Leisure Centre with swimming pool, gym, tennis courts.
Library: Denis Johnson Library .
Transport to City, Parramatta, Macquarie, - Hills buses with dedicated bus lane - 70%, takes around 1-1.2 hrs to the city. I am expecting the travel time to improve once M2 North Connex project finishes in 2019. - North West Rail Link would hopefully be operational by early 2019, this would give another option to commute to work.
A great place to live and raise a family. I have been living in this suburb since 2006. And I think it will only get better.
