Bathurst

"Diverse for a country town"

Bathurst is mainly known for Mount Panorama, but to the locals its just the local attraction, like any other town has a claim to fame. It adds depth and appeal to the town - a name synonomous with motorsport and every year the V8 1000 race converts the town into a busy festival you can't help but get involved in and enjoy.

The town itself is a clean, cosy place. With numerous boarding schools and a university, Bathurst is also known in education circles. Renting often means competing with off-campus students so there is reasonable demand on local rentals, at least the cheaper end of the scale.

A pleasant place to live and subsequently visit.

St Leonards

"Convenient city living on the north shore."

A busy suburban hub half way between the city centre and Chatswood. The Forum Tower is an excellent location to live if you don't mind high density living and the advantages that come with it. Large variation of apartment layouts, views and options to rent and buy. Forum Tower has an indoor heated pool, spa and gym along with a 6am - 10pm concierge and 24hr security.

The Forum Plaza has everything most people need for day to day life - Coles, BWS, florist, dry cleaner, newsagent, pharmacy, doctors clinic, fast food outlets including McDonalds & a couple nicer restaurants.
Gilroy's bar and restaurant is just across the road, with another tavern and a niteclub within 2min walking distance.

The Forum is located directly above the St Leonards train station, which is incorportated into the Forum Plaza. A busy bus stop is located just 50m away, on the Pacific Highway.

Overall, we enjoy our experience living in the Forum Tower. If you a city type that doesn't need a lawn to mow to be comfortable, the Forum tower is an option. A very convenient option managed well. Young families may not find the lack of open yard space appealling while childless couples, singles and retirees should find what they need.
Rent and purchase prices are in line with such a building, which may put the Forum Tower out of reach for some.
