Lisarow

"The Little Country Town By The Sea"

Our family dreams came true when we bought our home in Lisarow last year.
It's the kind of place we dreamt of settling down and raising children, with it being the best of both worlds.

Lisarow has a small country town feel about it, with many of the homes set on acreage with horses and ponies, and a gorgeous old fashioned Primary School that's retained it's charm for the 90 years it's been serving the community.
But we're also a stones throw away from the best beaches, and everything else the Coast has to offer.

"Lisarowareans", as we humerously refer to ourselves, are a friendly bunch.
The neighbours really look out for one another, often bringing each other's bins in, mowing each other's lawns, and caring for each other's pets when they're away on holiday.
If you're the kind of person who keeps to yourself and doesn't enjoy a good yarn with the neighbours, then Lisarow probably isn't the place for you.
Community spirit is highly regarded in Lisarow.
Whether you're out in the garden, walking your dog, or doing the grocery shopping at Lisarow Plaza, you're guaranteed to be greeted with a friendly "Good morning!", "How was your weekend?", or "How's the kids?" by a familiar face.
Even the local McDonald's seems to be managed by friendlier, more respectful and well spoken local teenagers.

Lisarow has it's own small plaza with a Coles and Woolies supermarket, bakery, chemist, and Italian family restaurant (Rossini's).
Lisarow also has it's own small train station, sporting field adjacent the Primary School (Fagan's Park), peaceful reserve, and a beautiful children's playground adjacent Bill Sohier Park, with shaded seating areas that make it a nice place for a picnic, Mother's Group gathering, or Birthday Party.
Lisarow also has it's own small Medical Centre, with a team of experienced, trustworthy, and friendly Doctor's and Nurse's that are absolutely wonderful with babies and children.

Both Lisarow Primary and High School have outstanding reputations and very passionate, engaged, and dedicated staff.
Lisarow also has great child care options, with the most trusted Child Care provider in Australia, KU Preschool, situated on the quiet ground of the University, as well as another reputable preschool, First Grammar Early Learning.

Lisarow has an abundance of beautiful native birds.
We handfeed the kookaburra's and variety of Parots that frequently visit, and enjoy sitting outside of an evening listening to the soothing sound of bellbirds singing.
We also love the Twilight Markets that are held in the school ground once a month, as well as the annual fair.

We are surrounded by bushland, rainforest, and National Parks, including the Watagans, which is great for 4WDing and camping, and The Forest of Tranquility, offering family friendly events like Firefly evenings and picnics, some great bushwalking, playground, BBQ, and shaded tables and chairs.

It's also worth mentioning that we're just a 15-20 minutes drive from Westfield Tuggerah, and Erina Fair and beautiful Terrigal in the other direction on the pretty drive through Matcham.
5 minutes from Gosford CBD, where there is the local pools, library, a large selection of cafés and restaurants, shops, and League's Club with bistro and indoor children's playground.
One of our neighbour suburbs has a bowling alley, martial arts school, gymnastics, music school, and gym.
Another neighbour suburb is having an indoor leisure centre built.

Lisarow is a safe, quiet, family centred suburb.
The properties are all beautifully maintained, making the streets asthetically pleasing and a place you're proud to call home!
Nature loving families who want a quiet, simple, laid back life, in a safe neighbourhood and friendly community will LOVE it here!

A great review but a couple of amendments for you. Fagan's Park is at Point Clare, I think you mean Pluim Park but that is a private series of Soccer Pitches owned by Central Coast Football (but you could have seen Usian Bolt training there with the Mariners last year!!). Twilight Markets are only on once per year. You also forgot to mention Thai Phunk at Lisarow Plaza and their food is excellent.
