For being so close to the city it is affordable and very safe. That being said, having moved to Botany from Turramurra, hearing people speeding, and even something as simple as some of the people getting the bus to work not being in suits is different to what I'm used to. I would certainly not feel comfortable leaving my door unlocked if I lived on the street itself but living in one of the townhouse complexes means I don't worry if I've forgotten to lock the door, just like how I felt in Turramurra. However, the schools don't seem to be as good as the North Shore schools, and the abundance of factories and warehouses definitely takes getting used to. It's also not as green as the North Shore, but on the upside, it's quite close to Coogee beach! (it's also close to Maroubra but Coogee is definitely nicer)
