"Very decent coastal suburb but not perfect"
I stayed at my sister's house for ~7months, and I enjoyed the vibe overall. The shops have everything you need so you don't have to travel to other suburbs unless you need something specific. But even that is easy and won't take more than 10mins drive. City is 20-25mins drive or 20mins train ride during peak hour.
The beach is a 5-minute drive, which is also good.
The only issue is that sometimes you see people from the other side (Laverton) who seem to sneak in. Other than that, the suburb feels safe and has a nice community feel to it. My sister loves it there and she has been living there for over 10years!

"Could Allara be one of the best developments in the country?"
Coming from a Sydney resident, this place feels like heaven on earth and it's still quite affordable, however, it's still developing so keep that in mind.
The pros:
1- Safe, peaceful & quiet
2- Amazing beach vibes with multiple beaches all within a 10-minute drive! the closest is only 3mins away!
3- Great developments and projects are coming soon with Alkimos Central close by and Eglinton district centre planned but no one knows when!
4- Eglinton station is opening within a few weeks/months of writing this review which is great! The highway extension is complete which makes the drive to Perth CBD in less than 40mins!
The cons:
1- It's a new slowwww development so don't expect too many amenities within walking distance immediately
2- 3 Schools are planned and none have even started construction for a 7-year-old development. This is unacceptable in my opinion. A new primary school is being built nearby close to Alkimos so can't complain too much but would have loved to see it built in Allara first
3- The land developers are amazing but greedy and slow, new land releases are increasing by 10k-20k in two months! purposely hiking up the price and making the development go slower than anticipated!
Overall one of the best developments I have seen!

"Perfect for professionals"
I moved here two years ago, as I work in the city and I wanted an affordable decent house with less than an hour travel to Central station and Ingleburn ticked all the boxes.
Pros:
- 45mins train ride to central
- Less than 40mins to Airport, Alexandria, mascot and green square!
- Lots of shops within 2mins drive or 15mins walk. Including coles, woollies, top 4 bank branches & good restaurants
- Aldi and Kmart are only 5mins drive to Minto.
- Macquarie field leisure centre is 5mins drive (Great gym and pool)
Cons:
- Forget about nightlife. There isn't actually good nightlife in almost all southwest so yeah...
- For clothes shopping, you have to either to go to Liverpool's Westfield or Macarthur square. Which is a 15-20mins drive
Ingleburn is so underrated due to the sterotype housing commission community which almost doesn't exist anymore. The city is under consistent development and It seems like a city with a bright future.
